Forward Callum Hudson-Odoi and his teammates struggled to find the net, missing opportunities that could have put the visitors in a difficult position.<\/p>\n<p>Things changed after halftime, as Liverpool displayed a different level of intensity. The team responded well to manager Arne Slot\u2019s instructions, pressing more effectively and moving the ball with increased speed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98518\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Alexis-Mac-Allister-goal-ruled-out-in-controversial-fashion-in-Liverpool-vs-Forest-clash-1024x569.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" alt=\"Alexis Mac Allister goal ruled out in controversial fashion in Liverpool vs Forest clash - Photo Credit : Beyond The Match, Facebook\" class=\"wp-image-98518\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexis Mac Allister goal ruled out in controversial fashion in Liverpool vs Forest clash \u2013 Photo Credit : Beyond The Match, Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Alexis Mac Allister had a goal disallowed due to a contentious decision after the ball made contact with his arm before entering the goal, prompting discussions about the referee\u2019s call.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98519\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Alexis-Mac-Allister-scores-the-winning-goal-for-Liverpool-against-forest-in-the-908-minute-1024x571.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" alt=\"Alexis Mac Allister scores the winning goal for Liverpool against forest in the 90+8 minute - Photo Credit : Beyond The Match, Facebook\" class=\"wp-image-98519\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexis Mac Allister scores the winning goal for Liverpool against forest in the 90+8 minute \u2013 Photo Credit : Beyond The Match, Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He later had another critical chance in stoppage time. Ultimately, the decisive goal came from captain Virgil van Dijk, whose header late in the match clinched all three points for his side.<\/p>\n<p>With recent victories over teams fighting relegation, including Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, Liverpool under Slot shows signs of improvement. However, questions remain about the team\u2019s evolving tactics, which contrast with the high-energy style previously established by J\u00fcrgen Klopp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-1271340709\"
