Liverpool kept their title hopes firmly alive and well after Darwin Nunez scored a 99th minute winner to send the away end into raptures at Nottingham Forest. Nunez rose to nod in a cross from Alexis Mac Allister to ensure Liverpool kept up their remarkable run of form in recent months. Nunez’s goal was enough to keep Liverpool top of the table and put the pressure firmly back on Arsenal and Man City. Of course, a late winner is always going to go down well in any game and just like last weekend when they pinched the cup final in…
Full credit has to be given for Vitor Matos and Liverpool’s Academy staff for cultivating an environment that has allowed youngsters like Bobby Clark to thrive. The 19-year-old was invited to make his full Premier League debut for Jurgen Klopp’s men against Nottingham Forest. It’s fair to say he didn’t disappoint. ESPN’s Adam Brown was a big fan of the teenager’s performance at the City Ground, labelling his latest outing ‘intelligent’ on X (formerly Twitter). Intelligent display from Bobby Clark so far. Unlucky with his effort earlier, but hasn’t looked out of place at all on his full Premier League…
Luke Littler has had quite the time recently and he’s not too surprised to hear Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp talking about him. Klopp compared his young players who helped the Reds win last weekend’s Carabao Cup final, to Littler, branding him the ‘new darts sensation’ in the process. The teenager made a splash at the World Championships during Christmas and now he is the face of darts in the UK. Even though he’s a big Manchester United fan, he didn’t mind Klopp comparing him to Liverpool’s young stars. Littler shared: “I actually watched the final and the young lads are…
Former Barcelona defender Martin Caceres has picked Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi while building his perfect footballer.Caceres was asked by Goal.com on their TikTok account to name three players for three traits to build his perfect footballer. He picked Lionel Messi’s left foot and Cristiano Ronaldo’s right foot. When asked to pick a player for speed, the Uruguayan defender picked his compatriot Darwin Nunez. While Messi and Ronaldo are the obvious picks for the first two traits, Nunez could arguably be considered a surprise pick. However, the Uruguayan striker’s speed and ability have been on full…
PSG’s star man Kylian Mbappe opted to snub his own team’s bench in the second half after being substituted by manager Luis Enrique. Mbappe started for the Parisians in Monaco on Friday night but, with the scoreline goalless, Enrique opted to bring the 25-year-old off at the break in favour of Randal Kolo Muani. It is custom for a player to sit with their teammates on the bench after being substituted but the forward decided to break this unwritten rule. Instead, the winger chose to head up into the stands to sit with his mum and other members of his…

Alonso, who played for Liverpool for five years between…
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo believes former Liverpool cult hero Divock Origi could make a difference against his former side when Tricky Trees host Liverpool this weekend in the Premier League. Origi was beloved at Anfield for his tendency to score clinical goals during his time at the club. Origi was at Liverpool for the better part of eight years, amid various loan spells in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, and is best remembered for his pair of goals in the 4-0 win against Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semi-final second leg that secured the club’s passage to…
If you’d told Mohamed Salah when he set off for the African Cup of Nations that he would not play for Liverpool again until February 17, he’d probably have been thrilled. It would have suggested an extended run for Egypt at the tournament. The reality, unfortunately, was far less exciting. Despite representing the most successful nation in the history of the tournament, Salah is yet to win AFCON, and didn’t even get close on this occasion. He returned to Liverpool after picking up an injury in the group stages, and his team fell at the first knockout hurdle on penalties…
