Today's win ended a 32 year wait for a victory for Forest at Villa Park! Their last came in October 1994! Aston Villa 1-2 #nffc Post Match Reaction: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/b…

Remarkable win by Nottingham Forest here at Anfield… What a moment for their fans who also celebrated a victory here last season. First time since 1963 that they’ve won back to back league games at Anfield. Liverpool awful again. But credit Sean Dyche and Forest. #bbcfootball
