Darwin Nunez the hero as Liverpool end 40-year winless run at Forest

Substitute Darwin Nunez grabbed a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Premier League leaders Liverpool snatched a vital 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest.

It seemed Jurgen Klopp's side would have to settle for a point after a frustrating afternoon at the City Ground but Nunez marked his return from injury getting the final touch to an Alexis Mac Allister ball in the ninth additional minute.

The victory took them four points clear at the top of the table with title rivals Manchester City and Arsenal to play on Sunday.

The match ended in confusion with tempers boiling over on the touchline after the final whistle.

West Ham also left it late with two goals after 90 minutes were up as they claimed a 3-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park.

The Toffees had been hoping to put more distance between themselves and the bottom three after having four of their deducted 10 points returned this week.

They seemed on course after Beto made amends for missing a first-half penalty by putting them ahead after 56 minutes but Kurt Zouma replied with a header.

Tomas Soucek and Edson Alvarez then both netted in stoppage time as the visitors took the spoils.

Tottenham scored three times in the final 13 minutes as they came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at home.
