Nottingham Forest's chairman stormed onto the pitch in crazy scenes after Liverpool won at the City Ground with a dramatic 99th minute winner.

The Reds were frustrated for large spells and looked like they were heading towards dropped points in East Midlands.

That was until Darwin Nunez headed home from an exquisite Alexis Mac Allister cross in the dying embers.

It was one of Liverpool's latest ever goals in the Premier League and the celebrations in the away end were wild.

But chaos ensued after the final whistle. A number of Nottingham Forest staff members were booked by referee Paul Tierney, who also sent off assistant coach Steven Reid.

Virgil van Dijk was seen in conversation with a member of Forest's backroom staff.

To add to the absurdity, Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis was spotted on the pitch.

Marinakis also owns both Rio Ave and Olympiacos in his native Greece. In 2018, he was that unhappy with the team's performance that he decided to fine the entire squad and order them to go on holiday.

What's more, he called up members of the Under 20 squad to take their place.

As per Greek media, he fumed: "I and the rest of the fans have tolerated you enough. You will leave today and go on holiday.

"The amateur teams live with the basics, they love Olympiacos and their supporters much more than you do.

"[You think more about] the nice houses you live in and your cars and don't care about the team.

"I pay millions for you to have everything. With your actions I fired three coaches. But at the end it looks like you were at fault."

Liverpool are now four points clear at the top of the table after the dramatic victory, though Manchester City can reduce the gap to one with a win over Manchester United in the derby on Sunday.

The two sides lock horns at Anfield in a huge clash next week.
