Mohamed Salah scored the winner as Liverpool came out on top in a five-goal thriller with Nottingham Forest at Anfield to boost their hopes of claiming an unlikely Champions League place.
After a drab opening half, the second half was an end-to-end thriller as relegation-threatened Forest twice levelled.
Diogo Jota scored twice, with former Liverpool player Neco Williams as well as Morgan Gibbs-White responding for the visitors.
Mohamed Salah netted his 16th Premier League goal of the season to put Jurgen Klopp’s side ahead for third third time – and another equaliser proved beyond Steve Cooper’s men, who remain in the drop zone.
