I'm glad I didn't put myself through watching that scrappy game and get my hopes up, only for it end that way.
I think what saved Liverpool from the penalty was the Forest player wasn't going to get that ball. I'm not sure how that would have gone if a City defender took that risk, possibly the same decision.
There's no way City get that amount of extra time though(Kloppage-Time was a fairly decent pun from MOTD) and there's definitely no way they give the drop ball to the wrong team. Equally, that Elanga chance arrows into the bottom corner if he has that same chance against City(you just know it) and Awoniyi hoofs that ball for out of touch inside the opposition half, after Liverpool's final corner and it's game over.
It's as Pep always alludes to, we can't rely on refs get all their calls right or the opposition to take their chances against our title challengers, like they would if City gave those up against them. It's up to City themselves, to be the deciding factor.
Also, as unfair as it is on Forest, at least Liverpool fans have to shut up about that offside decision against Spurs now (denied 1 point) because that's an extra two points from a blatant ref mistake.
