Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool: 5 talking points as Reds set up Man City FA Cup semi

Liverpool will face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals after overcoming a resolute Nottingham Forest thanks to a late strike from Diogo Jota.

The Portuguese forward latched onto Kostas Tsimikas' cross to finish from close range in the 78th minute and keep the Reds' hopes of an unprecedented quadruple alive. The goal came against the run of play as Forest were the better side for large swathes of the second half.

Jurgen Klopp seemed far from happy with what he saw from his side throughout the first hour and made a quadruple substitution to try and restore Liverpool's control of the match. The likes of Luis Diaz and Thiago were introduced but it was Jota who found the vital breakthrough with his 19th goal of the season, which was confirmed after an offside check for VAR.
