Liverpool beaten at Nottingham Forest by goal from forgotten former striker

Nottingham Forest recorded a 1-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday, with a former Reds forward scoring the winning goal.

Taiwo Awoniyi was on hand to prod home in the second half, giving the Premier League club's bottom club a memorable success over Jurgen Klopp's side. Had things worked out differently, the 25-year-old could have been donning the red of Liverpool instead.

The Nigerian forward joined the newly-promoted side this summer in a £17.5million deal from Union Berlin, having made a positive impression over two seasons spent with the Bundesliga club. As a result, Liverpool banked approximately £.1.5m having included a 10 per cent sell-on clause when offloading the striker to the German side in 2021.
