Jurgen Klopp sends message to embarrassed Nottingham Forest fans as 'sh*t Andy Carroll' dig at Darwin Nunez spectacularly backfires in last-gasp Liverpool victory

With the teams tied at 0-0 when Nunez was substituted on, Forest fans could be heard chanting: "You're just a sh*t Andy Carroll" at the Uruguayan striker, comparing him to the English striker who flopped at Anfield. However, Nunez went on to silence the home support when he headed in a 99th minute winner in the Premier League clash.

Asked for his thoughts on the Forest fans' taunts towards Nunez, Klopp said: "I would not sing a song like that. I would not try to wind Darwin up."

Nunez headed in the winner after a diagonal ball into the box from Alexis Mac Allister, and Klopp gave his thoughts on the goal, saying: "In the 98th minute, Macca had a good idea... so did Darwin. Really cool afternoon for us."

Nunez's goal - the latest match-winner scored by a Liverpool player in the Premier League since records began - may prove crucial in the Premier League title race. The Reds were a point ahead of Manchester City heading into the match and a draw would have given the reigning champions the opportunity to overtake them on Sunday. Thanks to the last-gasp heroics, however, the Reds now have some breathing space.

The Reds will be hoping that their fierce rivals Manchester United can do them a favour by upsetting Pep Guardiola's City when they meet at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Afterwards, Klopp's team will turn their attention to their Europa League tie against Sparta Prague on Thursday.
