Nottingham Forest demonstrated their unlikely Premier League title credentials by holding Liverpool to a 1-1 draw, backing up their win over the leaders earlier in the season.
It took a header by Diogo Jota from a corner in the 66th minute to earn Liverpool a point that maintained their six-point cushion over Forest, which moved into second place in their improbable bid to qualify for the Champions League — and maybe more.
Forest remains the only team to beat Liverpool in the league this season — at Anfield in September — and were on course to record an unlikely home-and-away double over Arne Slot’s team after top scorer Chris Wood scored in the eighth minute.
Liverpool piled on the pressure later on but again failed to defeat Forest, which started the season more likely to be in a relegation battle than competing for the title.
Manchester City showed more late-game fallibility in squandering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Brentford.
City conceded in the 82nd minute and again two minutes into stoppage time after Phil Foden scored twice for the struggling champions, who are battling to simply qualify for the Champions League this season.Prior to winning its last two league games against Leicester and West Ham, City had won just one in nine to drop out of the Champions League qualification positions. During that poor run, City conceded two late goals to lose to Manchester United while also throwing away a three-goal lead late in a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League.Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard were the scorers for Brentford to leave City in sixth place.
