Taiwo Awoniyi admitted he felt 'emotional' coming up against former side Liverpool - but managed to put aside any feelings to score Nottingham Forest's winner.
The Nigerian striker netted the only goal of the game at the City Ground to end Liverpool's three-game winning run and put a stop to recent momentum. Despite being far from their free-flowing best, the Reds created more than enough chances to take something back from Nottinghamshire, but rued missed golden opportunities from set-pieces to send Jurgen Klopp's side home with nothing.
To add insult to injury, it was a former Liverpool player who condemned them to defeat, with Awoniyi causing problems for Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk. The 25-year-old topped off an bright performance in the 55th-minute, stabbing home a rebound from his own shot for the eventual winner.
