"The game of the century" - Liverpool's destruction of Nottingham Forest in 1988
In April 1988, Liverpool played a trilogy of games against Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest side as
they sought to secure another league and cup double. The third game in the trilogy saw one the
finest –if not the finest – performances Anfield has ever witnessed.
Going into the third game on April 13th it was all square: Forest had beaten Liverpool in league
– one of only two defeats in the 87-88 championship winning season – and Liverpool had dumped
Forest out of the FA Cup in an exciting semi-final at Hillsborough.
