Liverpool's Premier League crown defense is rapidly unraveling after a 3-0 hammering at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Arne Slot's Forest secured back-to-back league wins at Anfield for the first time in 62 years, condemning Liverpool to their sixth league defeat of the season. In a dismal display, Liverpool's defense crumbled as Murillo, Nicolo Savona, and Morgan Gibbs-White found the back of the net for Forest. The loss left Liverpool 11th in the table, with Chelsea moving provisionally into second place after a 2-0 win at Burnley. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace moved into fourth place after a 2-0 victory over bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are still searching for their first win after 12 games. Brighton & Hove Albion are fifth after coming from behind to beat Brentford 2-1, while promoted Sunderland suffered only their third league defeat of the season. The dire defeat has left Liverpool's fans in shock, with 125 million-pound record signing Alexander Isak being hauled off after 67 ineffective minutes. Forest's manager, Arne Slot, took responsibility for the loss, stating, 'Another big disappointment. If things go well or things go bad, it's my responsibility.' The loss has left Liverpool's title defense in tatters, with the team now facing an uphill battle to reclaim their crown. Forest's second successive win lifted Sean Dyche's side out of the bottom three into 16th place, while Chelsea's third successive league win has put them firmly in the title mix.
