Liverpool thrashed Leeds 6-1 on Monday to rekindle their
hopes of a late challenge for a top-four finish but made heavy work of
overcoming a Forest side that had scored just five away goals all season prior
to their visit to Anfield.
Jota had not scored for a year prior to netting twice at
Elland Road earlier in the week, but now has four goals in a week.
All of Liverpool’s goals came from set-pieces as they
exposed some shocking Forest defending.
Jota twice put the Reds in front early in the second half,
but Forest hit back through deflected efforts from Neco Williams and Morgan
Gibbs-White.
However, the visitors twice conceded within three minutes of
getting level as Mohamed Salah swept home Trent Alexander-Arnold’s free-kick
for the winner 20 minutes from time.
Liverpool move up to seventh and within six points of
fourth-placed Newcastle, who host Tottenham on Sunday.
