Gibbs-White shines - player ratings for Liverpool v Nottm Forest

What the report says

BBC Sport Football published player ratings after Liverpool drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest in a Premier League match at Anfield. The article, by Aadam Patel, focuses on how individual players performed in a game that saw both sides lead before Liverpool salvaged a point late on.

For Liverpool, BBC Sport highlighted first starts and decisive moments from Victor Munoz, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak. Munoz was credited with a strong equaliser in front of the Kop, while Wirtz created chances and set up that goal. Isak recovered from a quiet first half to score Liverpool’s first equaliser. The ratings also noted mixed defensive displays, including pressure on Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez, with Liverpool’s back line criticised for allowing Forest openings.

Nottingham Forest’s standouts were Morgan Gibbs-White, Dan Ndoye, Ola Aina and Igor Jesus. Gibbs-White earned the top Forest rating after assisting Ndoye and scoring from the penalty spot. Ndoye was praised for a well-taken first-half goal, while Igor Jesus was singled out for his hold-up play and presence. Forest’s performance was also shaped by Matz Sels, whose long kick helped start the move for the opening goal, although he could not prevent Liverpool’s two second-half responses.

As a player-ratings piece, the story does not change the result, but it gives context on which individuals shaped a contest that finished level and remained open throughout.
