Liverpool maintained their slender hopes of a top-four finish in the Premier League with a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest whose relegation fears deepened on Saturday.
While Forest are in danger of an immediate return to the Championship, Leicester City emerged from a run of eight defeats in nine league games to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 and move out of the relegation zone.
All the goals came in an action-packed second half, with Jota heading in the opener from a corner in the 47th minute, before Forest drew level when Neco Williams ran on to Morgan Gibbs-White's pass to send a deflected shot past Alisson. Forest substitute Brennan Johnson hit the crossbar with a delicate chip as Liverpool clung on to take all three points.
While Forest have now gone 11 games without a league win and are second-from-bottom with 27 points, they are only a point behind 17th-placed Leicester City and will have taken some comfort from their display against Liverpool. "People have questioned our spirit but it was there to see today," said Smith, whose side face a crucial clash with Leeds United on Tuesday.
