Head coach Steve Cooper has told his Nottingham Forest players to remember the feeling of beating Liverpool - and use it to drive them on.
Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal secured a memorable 1-0 triumph for the Reds amid an electric atmosphere at the City Ground on Saturday lunchtime. And it was a victory which was thoroughly deserved, earned courtesy of a terrific team performance.
It was much-needed, too, ending a run of nine league games without a win. Forest are still battling at the bottom end of the table, but Cooper says performances - and results - like the one against Jurgen Klopp’s men should be used as “a reference point” to prove his team belong in the top tier.
