Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah were on target as Liverpool eased to a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield to cut the gap to leaders Tottenham to three points.
Jota converted the opener from close range in the first half and celebrated with a show of solidarity to Luis Diaz, holding up the absent winger’s shirt following the news of his parents’ kidnapping in Colombia.
Forest’s only chance of note saw Anthony Elanga strike the crossbar in the closing stages but the victory was never in any doubt for Liverpool, who celebrated a third win at Anfield in the space of a week following the games against Everton and Toulouse.
