We couldn&#8217;t create much, we had a lack of quality today, we needed more energy.

The manager told us to make an impact and we are buzzing with the win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw the space in the far corner and as soon as I hit it I knew there was a good chance of it going in. We started well and we ended well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a massive win, the atmosphere is crazy. We made sure we had the right mentality from the begining. 55 years [since Forest last won at Anfield] and now it&#8217;s done but we can&#8217;t rely on this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"cy\" dir=\"ltr\">Callum Hudson-Odoi \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1cY5tJY1dO\">pic.twitter.com\/1cY5tJY1dO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Nottingham Forest (@NFFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFFC\/status\/1834980247185338575?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has claimed that Nottingham Forest &#8216;only wanted to defend and play for the long ball&#8217; after the Midlands club secured a mighty 1-0 win over Arne Slot&#8217;s side at Anfield.
