Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that Nottingham Forest have had a ‘super season’ under Steve Cooper after the FA Cup meeting between the two sides earlier this year.
Forest had overcome Premier League opposition in both Arsenal and Leicester City in the third and fourth round of the competition to set up a quarter-final against Liverpool. It was a day to remember at the City Ground as Forest took Klopp’s side all the way to the wire.
Diogo Jota’s 78th-minute goal eventually separated the two sides. But Liverpool knew they had been in a game that has since been described as ‘incredibly difficult’ by Klopp himself.
