00:00 Full time in and Anfield would have finished Liverpool 3, Nottingham Forest 0.
00:05 A routine victory for the Reds, still maintain the perfect start at home this season.
00:10 Won all the games so far.
00:12 In the builds up all the attention was on Luis Diaz of course.
00:16 News broke on the eve of the game overnight that his parents had been kidnapped in his native Colombia.
00:22 It wasn't surprising, Luis Diaz wasn't in the team, wasn't in the squad.
00:27 He's gone back to his homeland now.
00:31 It was Diogo Jota who started ahead of Luis Diaz.
00:34 It was Diaz who went to start on the left, instead Jota came in, kept his place from that five-one win over Toulouse in the Europa League.
00:40 It was Diogo Jota who opened the score in the 30-30 minute.
00:44 Nice move from Liverpool.
00:46 Mo Salah played in Darwin Nunes down the right.
00:49 Nunes' angle drive was saved by the Forest keeper.
00:52 But there was Jota on hand to roll into an empty net really.
00:57 A real nice touch from Diogo Jota and the rest of the Liverpool team.
01:00 Because Jota went over to the Perl bench and grabbed Luis Diaz number seven share to celebrate.
01:05 He held it up to the crowd.
01:07 A real nice touch from him.
01:09 It shows that everyone is firmly behind him.
01:11 Liverpool then double their lead four minutes later through Darwin Nunes.
01:15 In real, real good form isn't he?
01:18 The Europe-wide international, Dominic Savozlaj put a ball across.
01:23 It was a lovely ball from Mo Salah to place Savozlaj in.
01:26 Savozlaj put a ball across for goal.
01:29 Darwin Nunes, he adjusted his feet really well to be honest with you.
01:32 Godwin managed to get his left foot there and cross over into the net.
01:36 And I think he took the foot off the gas a little bit.
01:39 He weren't the best in the second half.
01:41 Diogo Jota mentioned there's still improvements to make.
01:44 He grabbed the fair goal with 14 minutes remaining.
01:47 Mo Salah, that man again.
01:49 Ten goals for the season now already.
01:52 He's in absolutely sublime form.
01:54 He played his part in the first two goals and then got one himself.
01:57 A little bit of ball tune.
01:59 Savozlaj, probably man of the match getting two assists.
02:03 He played a raking ball over for Salah.
02:06 Don't ask him to put his keeper in.
02:08 Defender got a mixed up keeper off his line.
02:12 Felt for Salah, he just rolled it to a net.
02:15 3-0 to say.
02:16 Routine win.
02:17 Three successive victories for Liverpool now.
02:19 All coming home.
02:21 Two winnable games on the road now.
02:23 They first go to Bourne for the Carabao Cup,
02:25 four for Arnhem, then they go to Luton.
02:27 Liverpool are only up for nothing, but why can't they go on and win?
02:30 All of the attention was obviously on Luis Diaz.
02:33 Now Diogo Klopp said it was the toughest game he's ever had to prepare for as a manager.
02:37 And that's understandable why.
02:39 Real, real size with the shop together.
02:44 Couldn't expect that for us to say.
02:46 Liverpool, big win for them.
02:48 Three points now for Jarno Tottenham, league leaders.
02:51 A little bit of momentum building.
02:53 And there's still areas that Diogo Klopp feels the side can get better.
02:57 This early stage of the season,
02:59 it's just getting into the nitty gritty bit of it now.
03:01 Liverpool have made a real strong side.
03:04 And Monmeyer continues to finish Liverpool 3-0, not something positive.
