Former Liverpool defender Neco Williams was part of the Nottingham Forest side that beat Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park on Sunday
Former Liverpool defender Neco Williams couldn’t resist a dig at Everton as he celebrated Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 win at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Wales international Williams spent 15 years at Anfield and made several appearances for the Reds’ first team before being sold to Nottingham Forest in 2022.
On Sunday, Williams played 82 minutes at Goodison Park as Forest continued their surge up the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory over the Blues.

But the defender couldn’t resist paying homage to his Liverpool roots as he celebrated the victory on social media.
Writing on X, Williams said: “Last game in 2024 at Goodison, felt lovelyyy getting 3pts and a clean sheet there. You Reds enjoy your new year.”
After a four-game unbeaten streak, Everton suffered a first defeat since December 1 as goals from Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White secured all three points for the Midlanders.
Speaking after the game, Sean Dyche said: “I thought they did what they’ve done to a lot of teams this season, playing a lot of counter-attacking football. That’s not a slight on them. They scored one good goal but the second is farcical from us. You can’t give away a goal to a side in that kind of form.
“Playing quickly, playing with tempo, stretching their back four and asking as many questions by playing quickly, a tempo game. We did completely the opposite.”
Everton are now just three points above 18th-placed Leicester City, while Forest moved up to second and within eight points of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
