Portugal Colonial - Liverpool strike late to beat Forest, Spurs fight back to close on top four

Liverpool's resources have been stretched to the limit by a series of injuries in recent weeks as they attempt to win a quadruple in Jurgen Klopp's final season.

The Reds were again without a host of star names including Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota.

But there was some light at the end of the tunnel with Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai making their return as second-half substitutes.

The Uruguayan made the telling impact with virtually the last touch of the game as Nunez rose highest to flick home Alexis Mac Allister's cross.

Victory pulls Klopp's men clear of Manchester City, who face Manchester United on Sunday, and five points clear of Arsenal before they travel to Sheffield United on Monday.

Defeat leaves Forest still just four points above the relegation zone and with the threat of a points deduction for breaches of financial rules still hanging over the club.
