How Liverpool and Nottingham Forest's players rated following their Premier League match.

Gibbs-White shines - player ratings for Liverpool v Nottm Forest

In Andoni Iraola's first home Premier League game as Liverpool's head coach, the team drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest. Here's how the players were rated:

Alisson performed well, despite being beaten for Dan Ndoye's goal and making a crucial save to deny Igor Jesus. His penalty kick was poor, resulting in Gibbs-White's winner.

Jeremie Frimpong struggled defensively but contributed to Florian Wirtz's disallowed goal. He needs to improve consistency with his end delivery.

Jeremy Jacquet made a goal-saving challenge and was impressive overall. However, he lacked discipline in a few moments.

Virgil van Dijk was frustrated by Forest's ease in breaking down Liverpool's defense, particularly for Ndoye's opener and the penalty scored by Forest.

Milos Kerkez had an underwhelming display, being sloppy in possession and replaced by Kostas Tsimikas in the 71st minute.

Dominik Szoboszlai was solid defensively and more alert compared to his performance at Newcastle.

Alexis Mac Allister played a lovely reverse ball for Cody Gakpo early on, but struggled physically with Igor Jesus during the build-up to Ndoye's goal.

Cody Gakpo started on the right and was effective, creating chances for Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak.

Florian Wirtz constantly posed a threat and was unlucky not to score, having a neat finish ruled out and a solid header tipped over by Matz Sels. He assisted Munoz's goal.

Victor Munoz made his first Liverpool start, playing down his preferred left flank. He scored a belter to level the game in front of the Kop and rescue a point for Liverpool.

Alexander Isak made up for a forgettable opening 45 minutes with the first equaliser on the hour mark, showcasing his goal-scoring potential.

Dan Ndoye scored his first Premier League goal in 377 days with a wonderful finish past Alisson.

Morgan Gibbs-White showed great quality on the ball, assisting Ndoye for the goal and scoring his second-half penalty in style. He has scored the most Premier League goals overall this calendar year among English players (13).

Florian Wirtz had a great chance early on and was involved in creating chances for Munoz and Isak.

Igor Jesus had a great chance early on and caused a nuisance for Liverpool's center-backs. He also assisted Munoz's goal.

The substitutes not used included Mamardashvili, Endo, McConnell, Koumas, Matz Sels, Jair Cunha, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, Ola Aina, James McAtee, Xaver Schlager, Neco Williams, Dan Ndoye, Morgan Gibbs-White, Igor Jesus. The ratings are based on the average of all submissions by BBC Sport users after the opportunity to rate players has closed.
