Anfield went quiet in the 24th minute on Friday evening. Dan Ndoye, Nottingham Forest’s Swiss international winger, found the back of the net to give his side a 1-0 lead against Liverpool in what is shaping up to be one of the more uncomfortable early-season moments for the Reds faithful.
Liverpool’s first home league match of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign was supposed to be a reset. Instead, it’s looking like a rerun of the frustrations that marked their opening-day draw with Newcastle.
Ndoye delivers on his price tag
Forest paid £34 million to prise Ndoye away from Bologna in July 2025, handing him a five-year contract in the process. Ndoye scored on his Premier League debut for Forest last season, and his comfort level in English football appears to be growing with each match.
