Jurgen Klopp cautions fans against provoking Darwin Nunez as the Liverpool striker scores a last-minute winning goal.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has responded to the chants directed at Darwin Nunez by Nottingham Forest supporters during Liverpool’s hard-fought 1-0 victory at the City Ground. Nunez, who came off the bench to score the winning goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time, was subjected to chants of “s*** Andy Carroll” from the home fans. However, Klopp condemned the chant during his post-match press conference, stating that he would not sing a song like that and that Nunez’s goal was well-deserved.

Liverpool’s victory saw them extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points. The match was Liverpool’s fourth in just 11 days, putting their already-stretched squad to the test once again. Klopp praised his players’ defensive efforts against Nottingham Forest’s counter-attacks, particularly highlighting the threat posed by Taiwo Awoniyi and the trio of Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Morgan Gibbs-White.

Klopp also singled out Alexis Mac Allister for praise, acknowledging his calmness and the crucial role he played in setting up Nunez’s winning goal. The Liverpool manager expressed his astonishment at winning all four games in such a demanding schedule, stating that it seemed impossible just 12 days ago.

Overall, Klopp’s response to the chants directed at Nunez and his admiration for his team’s defensive efforts and Mac Allister’s contribution highlight the resilience and determination of Liverpool as they continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.
