NOTTINGHAM: Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes Alexis Mac Allister is regaining his best form following the attacking midfielder’s last-gasp winning goal at Nottingham Forest. Mac Allister struck deep in added time at the City Ground on Sunday to secure a 1-0 win for the Premier League champions. The Argentina international sealed victory by pouncing on a loose ball from close range just minutes after he had a goal ruled out by VAR. “I think what he needed is what he showed in the last six, seven or eight games - a run of games where he’s getting back to his usual level that he showed so many times last season,” said Slot.
