Liverpool struck with virtually the last piece of action in added time to defeat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on Sunday and keep alive their English Premier League top four hopes.
Alexis Mac Allister finished from close range to seal the win, few minutes after the Argentina midfielder had been denied by a VAR review.
The win lifted Liverpool to level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United, in fourth and fifth places respectively.
Forest, who had Super Eagles defender Ola Aina in their side, remain 17th, just two points above the relegation zone.
Also on Sunday, Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi provided an assist and wrapped up the scoring for Fulham as they beat Sunderland 3-1 at the Stadium of Light.
Raul Jimenez struck twice as Fulham ended a three-match Premier League losing run with the victory at Sunderland.
The Mexico striker peeled off his marker in the penalty area to head in Iwobi’s 54th-minute corner to break the deadlock.
Seven minutes later Fulham were awarded a penalty when referee Craig Pawson was sent to the pitchside monitor and adjudged Brian Brobbey pulled on Nigeria defender Calvin Bassey’s shirt in the area.
Jimenez made no mistake from the spot, sending Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs the wrong way for his 13th successful penalty out of 13 in the Premier League.
Sunderland replied in the 76th minute when Dan Ballard drove into the area and was bundled to the floor by Ryan Sessegnon to win his side a penalty.
Enzo le Fee found the top corner with his powerful spot-kick to give the hosts hope.
But Fulham completed a league double over Sunderland for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign with a third goal on the counter-attack with five minutes left.
Harry Wilson broke clear and slipped in Iwobi who dinked a calm finish over Roefs for his first strike since December.
It was Fulham’s first win in the Premier League since they beat Brighton 2-1 on 24 January and their first away league win of 2026.
Meanwhile, Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare missed a penalty as bottom side Wolves lost 1-0 at Crystal Palace.
Arokodare’s weak effort was saved by Dean Henderson in the 43rd minute, and the teams went into half-time goalless.
Ladislav Krejci was sent off just after the hour mark for Wolves, and Evan Guessand struck the winner for Palace in the 90th minute.
