Keane said: "They should be proud. I think Forest in the second half may feel slightly unlucky.

"They had one or two moments, but all the fans ask is the players give their all, and they did tonight. I think Forest were slightly unlucky to be fair."

On the Liverpool goal, Keane explained: "Jack (Colback) gets caught out there. Jack is not really a left-back and when he is playing defensively he is normally playing in a back five with wing-backs, it is just his lack of experience as a defender that eventually found him out."
