at City Ground
WHAT a magnificent game these two character-laden sides put on for a raucous City Ground, which roared its approval throughout a thrilling 90 minutes on the banks of the River Trent on Tuesday evening.
Nottingham Forest and Liverpool exhibited some of the best traits the Premier League can offer, including a display of outstanding full-blooded commitment amid an utterly raucous atmosphere in front of 30,249 fans to play out a thrilling 1-1 draw — leaving the neutral observer to conclude that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are emphatically in the mix for the title.
Barely the strains of Forest’s goose-bump evoking fans’ anthem — adapted from Paul McCartney and Wings’ iconic Mull of Kintyre — had died down, than Nuno’s hungry side swarmed all over their reeling visitors with a relentless barrage.
