National media ask new Mohamed Salah question as Liverpool show 'glimpse' into future

Liverpool were made to work for three points on Saturday afternoon, scoring three times in the second half to keep Steve Cooper's resilient Nottingham Forest side at bay.

The Reds took the lead shortly after the restart courtesy of a Diogo Jota header, but were ahead for only four minutes as former Liverpool right-back Neco Williams saw a deflected effort beat Alisson. Jota produced the goods again to put Jurgen Klopp's men back in front, though Forest rallied and made it 2-2 when Morgan Gibbs-White's volley found the bottom left corner.

Mohamed Salah capped off a drama-filled afternoon with a instinctive finish inside the penalty area, with Liverpool then forced to hold on for the final 20 minutes of the game as the visitors pushed for a late leveller at Anfield.
