'It's never over' - Liverpool will fight to the end

Liverpool

Liverpool secured their most recent victory by a goal from Darwin Nunez, which broke a record in the Premier League.

As the time passed 98 minutes at the City Ground, Liverpool's day seemed to be going poorly.

Nottingham Forest, a team at risk of relegation, managed to secure a draw, resulting in two lost points for the opposing team. Consequently, the Premier League title race has shifted back to Manchester City and Arsenal.

For almost 100 minutes, Darwin Nunez was shouting and cheering in excitement. He kicked the advertising panels located in front of a group of fans who were waving their arms and legs in a state of shock and disbelief.

Liverpool gained three points, increasing their lead at the top of the table to four points, after starting from a two point disadvantage.

If they win the trophy in May, then they will definitely consider this game as a crucial moment.

However, there have been numerous exhilarating victories to relish already. Simply inquire with Newcastle, Wolves, Fulham, or Crystal Palace. Liverpool has secured a victory in the 85th minute or later five times this season, with their most recent being the triumph over Forest.

That is only within the competition. Additionally, Virgil van Dijk managed to score the winning goal in the 118th minute during the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea in the previous week. Moreover, they were able to score twice in the final 10 minutes and defeat Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Basketball icon Michael Jordan once uttered the words, "I have never experienced defeat in a game. I merely ran out of seconds."

Up to this point in the campaign, Liverpool appears to be using a comparable strategy, and most of the time they seem to be nailing the timing.

The latter half of Jordan's quote encapsulates Jurgen Klopp's team's mindset quite well: "Giving up once makes it a habit."

Liverpool appears to have an unwavering confidence that they are capable of winning, regardless of the circumstances. This confidence remains until the game's conclusion and only dissipates once the final whistle is blown.

Throughout the season, there have been multiple factors that may have caused a decrease in confidence for the team. Particularly recently, they have been faced with the challenge of playing without up to 13 key players due to injuries.

Instead, they have succeeded in achieving victories against Luton, Chelsea, Southampton, and currently Forest.

Klopp expressed his disbelief to BBC Sport, stating that if someone had said to him 12 days ago that they would triumph in all four matches, he would have dismissed the idea as unachievable.

Given the situation, it's absurd to have emerged victorious in the games. The achievements of the boys are truly remarkable.

Nunez scored the winning goal for Liverpool in the Premier League at 98 minutes and 35 seconds, making it their latest recorded victory. The team appeared to be exhausted during the match.

According to ex-England shot-stopper Paul Robinson, Liverpool kept moving forward without any pause. This was reported on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Liverpool didn't perform their best today, but they managed to improve their performance by making some changes. The admirable thing about Liverpool is that they didn't give up and continued to play until the end.

It is noteworthy that they have consistently displayed this characteristic throughout the year, managing to secure 22 points even after being in losing positions. This marks their highest record for a Premier League season.

Nedum Onuoha, a former Manchester City defender, mentioned to BBC Final Score that the never-ending spirit of Liverpool is evident.

There's a considerable distance to cover yet, and it could happen that if the Merseyside team fails to score a late game-winning goal a couple of times, their ambition of becoming champions could be dashed.

However, the signs indicate that Liverpool will not give up easily or lose faith during this season. The competition for the championship is set to be very close, and Liverpool has proved that they will continue to battle until the very end.

Their recent victory at Forest is just another instance.

Robinson said that champions behave in this manner when discussing champions.

Today, Liverpool displayed a commendable winning attitude which will greatly contribute to their overall success this year.
