Nottingham Forest, which has emerged as a recruiting team for "Golden Boy" Lee Kang-in (24, Paris Saint-Germain), continued to rise. Although it did not win, it overcame a difficult crisis by drawing with Liverpool, the "EPL's last king."
Nottingham tied Liverpool 1-1 in the 21st round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League at The City Ground in Nottingham, England, at 5 a.m. on the 15th (Korea time). With this, Nottingham has 12 wins, five draws and four losses (41 points), moving from third place to second place in the league.
Although the team played one more game than third-ranked Arsenal (40 points), it is significant to have earned a point against "No. 1" Liverpool. Arsenal will meet Tottenham in the same round. As they are tough opponents and the two are arch rivals, there is a chance that Arsenal will miss the point. Liverpool now has 14 wins, five draws and one loss (47 points).
There is not much gap between Nottingham and Liverpool. Nottingham aims to come from behind to win the EPL title. They are also focusing on recruiting players to maintain their upward momentum. Korean striker Lee Kang-in is one of them. Earlier, the British newspaper Nottingham Forest reported that Nottingham wants a PSG star Lee Kang-in, who plans to find a new player this month. However, the player they are recruiting should be an upgraded player from the current squad.
The media also said, "PSG has decided to sell Lee Kang-in. EPL clubs are now lining up to sign Lee Kang-in. Nottingham is not the only place. Manchester United, Newcastle, and Tottenham are also competing for Lee Kang-in as a versatile striker has been pushed out of the competition under PSG coach Luis Enrique."
If Lee Kang-in wears a Nottingham uniform through the January transfer market, he can try to win the EPL this season.
On the day, Nottingham continued to push Liverpool from the beginning. Nottingham striker Chris Wood scored the first goal in the eighth minute of the first half. He shook the net by directly connecting Antony Elanga's through-pass with a left-footed shot. New Zealand striker Wood has scored 13 goals in this season's league, tying for fourth in overall score tally. He is playing a key role in making a splash in Nottingham.
Liverpool also had strong counterattacks, however. Diogo Jota, who substituted for the team in the 21st minute of the second half, scored the equalizer. He changed the direction of the ball with his head at a corner kick opportunity. Nottingham goalkeeper Mats Sels, who made super saves throughout the game, also stuck. The game ended 1-1. 스포츠토토
