Jurgen Klopp responds to Nottingham Forest fans' chant at Darwin Nunez

Jurgen Klopp has delivered a witty response to Nottingham Forest fans' chant aimed at Darwin Nunez during Saturday's clash with Liverpool.

Home supporters serenaded the Uruguayan with "You're just a s*** Andy Carroll," but Nunez had the last laugh, netting a dramatic late winner for the Reds.

Klopp's Light-hearted Take

When questioned by reporters after the match, Klopp showed his sense of humour, as reported by the Sun, "I would not sing a song like that.

"I would try not to wind Darwin up. The goal was super deserved for him. They can sing it when Darwin responds like that."

Once Liverpool's record signing in 2011, Carroll had a mixed stint at Anfield, scoring 11 goals in 58 appearances over two-and-a-half years.

On the other hand, Nunez is having a stellar season, tallying 14 goals overall and 10 in the Premier League. 

His latest strike, however, was not without controversy, coming in the 99th minute and sparking chaotic scenes at the City Ground.

Chaotic Scenes and Controversy

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis confronted referee Paul Tierney at full-time, reportedly requiring security intervention after chasing the referee down the tunnel.

Liverpool's late triumph extends their lead at the top of the Premier League to four points, with title rivals Manchester City set to face Manchester United while Arsenal, trailing by a further point, prepare for their clash with Sheffield United on Monday.
