Diogo Jota should've decided this tie far earlier, but his 78th-minute goal proved the winner as Liverpool eked out a 1-0 FA Cup win at Forest.
DF Virgil van Dijk, 7 -- Dealt well with Forest attacks that looked dangerous as the Championship side looked to find a way past Klopp's high line. MF Naby Keita, 8 -- Keita linked the play well in midfield and often looked like the Liverpool star most likely to make something happen. A perfect ball set up Jota for the opener. That was needed with the hosts making enough opportunities that could have resulted in a different story on another day. Close to giving away a penalty late on. Almost conceded through a mix-up in the second half but recovered well.

Thank you for subscribing!We have more newslettersShow meLiverpool had extra pressure piled on their FA Cup quarter-final meeting with Nottingham Forest before a ball had even been kicked, with the draw pitting the winners against Manchester City and Pep Guardiola in the semi-final at Wembley. Jürgen Klopp and his staff seemingly did well at keeping this from the players, with Diogo Jota learning the draw for the first time in his post-match interview, but for the fans it added an extra layer of nerves to what was always going to be a tricky cup tie.
