Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams has praised his former team, Liverpool, after Tuesday's 1-1 draw between the two sides.

Liverpool also have a game in hand over all their title rivals with the postponed Merseyside derby set to be played on February 12.

And Williams has acknowledged Liverpool's quality in a post on social media platform Instagram as he called the Reds a 'top side' in a simple two-word verdict of Tuesday night's opponents.



The defender departed Anfield in July 2022 after completing a £17million move to a then newly-promoted Forest team under former Reds academy coach Steve Cooper.

"Good battle against a top side," he said alongside a shaking hands emoji with a picture of him celebrating Forest's goal on Tuesday.

Williams played the full 90 minutes at left-back for Nuno Espirito Santo's team against the Reds.

Williams issued an emotional message when news of his Liverpool departure was confirmed two and a half years ago.
