Nottingham Forest vs. Liverpool: Mohamed Salah's record against the Tricky Trees after Premier League win

Death, taxes, and Mohamed Salah breaking records - the 33-year-old Liverpool legend has sent feats tumbling ever since touching back down on British shores, though he missed out on the chance to write another chapter of Premier League history on Sunday.

The former Chelsea and Roma attacker has shown flashes of his best self since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, registering six goal contributions during his last seven games, including an emphatic penalty in the Reds' 3-0 FA Cup victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Valentine's Day.

Salah also set up Virgil van Dijk's decisive effort in the Merseysiders' 1-0 win at Sunderland in the top flight - a helper which represented his 92nd assist for Liverpool in the Premier League, the joint-most for the Reds in the division with Steven Gerrard.

The 33-year-old therefore had the chance to overtake his fellow Liverpool legend by providing another at the City Ground on Sunday, but his recent record against the Garibaldis held true and he found it tough up against the tenacious Neco Williams.

Here, Sports Mole provides an in-depth breakdown of Salah's record against Forest, including results, goals and assists.

As Nottingham Forest did not return to the promised land of the Premier League until 2022, Mohamed Salah only became acquainted with the Tricky Trees three-and-a-half years ago, and the 1-1 draw at the City Ground in January 2025 was just his fifth appearance against them in any competition.

Liverpool did meet with Forest before their promotion to the top flight in the quarter-finals of the 2021-22 FA Cup, but Salah was not in the squad for that game, which the Reds won 1-0 thanks to a Diogo Jota goal.

The Egypt international has since locked horns with Forest seven times in the Premier League, helping the Reds to three victories while also suffering three defeats, one of which came as recently as November 2025 in a 3-0 home beatdown.

Arne Slot's men were also expected to dispatch the Garibaldis with minimal difficulty in September 2024, only for Forest to stun the Anfield faithful in a 1-0 victory, almost two years on from an identical success on home soil.

On that day in October 2022, former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi bagged the only goal against his erstwhile employers, but it was soon Salah's turn to make the net bulge in fixtures between the Reds and the Tricky Trees.

Indeed, the winger's first goal against Forest came later that season in a five-goal Anfield thriller, during which he netted what proved to be the winner in a 3-2 triumph before repeating the trick on Merseyside in October 2023.

Again, Salah scored Liverpool's third of three goals in a much more straightforward 3-0 home victory, following up strikes from Jota and Darwin Nunez, but he missed the dramatic 1-0 win at the City Ground in March 2024 due to a muscle injury.

Most recently, the Egyptian started against Forest in February 2026, when Liverpool went on to escape with all three points in a 1-0 win thanks to a 97th-minute strike from Alexis Mac Allister. However, Neco Williams got the better of Salah, who was taken off for 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha when the score was level at 0-0.
