Jamie Carragher has urged Arne Slot to make one change after Liverpool's win over Nottingham Forest.

On Sunday afternoon, the Reds arrived at the City Ground looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League, following their 1-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Forest, under new boss Vitor Pereira, were hoping to pull further clear of the danger zone.

The hosts were on the front foot from the get-go and squandered several big chances in the first half, with Liverpool not at the races.

In the second half, it looked like the match would end 0-0. However, right at the death, Alexis Mac Allister netted to seal a dramatic 1-0 win for Slot's men, having previously had a goal disallowed for handball.

As a result, the Reds moved level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Reacting to Liverpool's win, ex-player Carragher has urged Slot to use teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha more often.

The former defender also branded Liverpool's win at the City Ground as one of the 'biggest robberies' in the Premier League this season.

He said on Sky Sports: "That's one of the biggest robberies I've seen in the Premier League this season.

"Ngumoha did more in 15 minutes than Salah and Gakpo did before that. He changed the game and needs to be starting games. There's no-one better in getting last-minute winners in Premier League - and that is Liverpool."

Carragher was not the only one singing Ngumoha's praises, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand wrote: "Top drawer the kid Rio for LFC.

Changed the game for them. A winger that wants to beat his man & deliver with a mix of speed & finesse."

Meanwhile, ex-Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge added: "Every time I watch Rio Ngumoha, he looks electric. Direct, fearless, always trying to affect the game. He deserves more minutes. Simple as that."

Ngumoha has impressed whenever he has been called upon this season and scored a dramatic winner against Newcastle United at the start of the season.

What did Arne Slot say about Rio Ngumoha's cameo vs Nottingham Forest

After the match, Reds boss Slot was asked to comment on Ngumoha's cameo.

The Dutchman said: "The first goal that was disallowed was mainly because of him - and a great cross for Hugo and normally you would expect that to be a goal. Especially for Hugo as he's such a good finisher.

"A good action of him and one-v-one. It was what this game needed. Either a set piece or a moment like this. That's why I brought him on. First off the left, where there was not a lot of involvement. Then off the right, where there was much more involvement."

Slot added: "He already plays a big part for a 17-year-old. Tell me wherever in the Premier League a player has had so many minutes. That tells you what kind of a talent he is, and how much we appreciate him."
