@JohnBennettBBC It's the Forest of old!

[John Bennett @JohnBennettBBC]

Remarkable win by Nottingham Forest here at Anfield… What a moment for their fans who also celebrated a victory here last season. First time since 1963 that they’ve won back to back league games at Anfield.

Liverpool awful again. But credit Sean Dyche and Forest.
