Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis sat in front of his own personal giant television screen in the City Ground directors' box glued to a night of pure Premier League theatre.
Whether Marinakis' gaze was fixed on the television or events unfolding on the pitch in front of him, he was watching the fulfilment of his burning ambition to have Forest punching above their weight with the top-flight superpowers, in this case Premier League leaders Liverpool.
This was a night that had everything – from a wonderful fiery atmosphere as Forest fans live the high life, to a brilliantly drilled defensive display from Nuno Espirito Santo's side, only underdone by a double substitution of genius from Liverpool head coach Arne Slot that almost turned defeat to victory.
