Liverpool rallied around Luis Diaz in a 3-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest.

Before halftime, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez scored, while Mohamed Salah scored in the second half to enable Jurgen Klopp’s team maintain its 100% Premier League home record.

After scoring, Jota clutched Diaz’s number seven shirt, as the Colombian was not in Liverpool’s team due to concerns his parents had been ƙιԀ𝚗аρρеԀ.

Liverpool’s eighth straight win at Anfield, their seventh in 10 league games, moved them within three points of leaders Tottenham.

Forest barely threatened and were forced to defend in numbers as their winless league skid reached six matches. Anthony Elanga’s late shot hit the woodwork.

Pre-game applause honored former England and Manchester United great Sir Bobby Charlton and ex-Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, who died recently.

However, two goals in four first-half minutes changed that, reflecting Liverpool’s domination.

Turner parried Nunez’s strong first-time shot, and Jota scored from eight yards.

In joy, Jota raced to Jurgen Klopp, who gave him Diaz’s shirt to show Liverpool fans.

After Dominik Szoboszlai’s cutback, Nunez scored a near-post goal in the 35th minute to extend Liverpool’s lead.

Backline appeared increasingly vulnerable for Forest. Turner saved well from Ryan Gravenberch and Szoboszlai before halftime, while Nunez hit the crossbar with an overhead kick.

Harvey Elliott nearly scored a third Liverpool goal after coming off the bench in the second half, but Forest defender Ola Aina blocked his drive wide.

Salah capitalized on Turner’s mistake to put Liverpool up 3-0 in the 77th minute.

Szoboszlai’s long diagonal punt up field took Turner off guard, allowing Salah to sidefoot home his eighth league goal.

Elanga’s first-time volley from a cross to the far post hit the crossbar in the 85th minute, almost bringing Forest back.

Liverpool thought replacement Cody Gakpo had scored a fourth goal in stoppage time, but VAR ruled him offside.
