Nottingham Forest made a sharp start against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

Oliver Glasner's side immediately put the Reds under pressure, and Igor Jesus nearly opened the scoring from close range, only for Jeremy Jacquet to make a crucial intervention in time.

The Tricky Trees kept up their intensity and got their reward midway through the first half when Dan Ndoye found the net.

The Switzerland international latched on to a through ball from Morgan Gibbs-White and calmly curled his finish into the bottom corner.

That goal brought an end to Ndoye's lengthy wait for a Premier League strike, with his previous goal in the competition having come on his debut against Brentford last season.

Forest went into half-time 1-0 in front, although Liverpool did have a goal disallowed for offside during the opening period.
