Dan Ndoye’s first Premier League goal in a year put Nottingham Forest ahead at Liverpool in Andoni Iraola’s first Anfield game.
Forest have won at Anfield in each of the past two seasons and deservedly went ahead through the Swiss winger after a lively start.
Morgan Gibbs-White found Ndoye on the corner of the penalty area and he threaded a low shot across Alisson and in.
Forest had not scored a goal under new manager Oliver Glasner in back-to-back defeats to Leeds last week.
Liverpool, who started Alexis Mac Allister in place of Ryan Gravenberch, failed to test Matz Sels in a sloppy opening 25 minutes.
