Liverpool come from behind twice to rescue a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest at Anfield, leaving new manager Andoni Iraola in search of his first Premier League win with the club.

Iraola awaits first win as Liverpool rescue late draw against Forest

Liverpool drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Anfield. The visitors took the lead twice through Dan Ndoye and a Morgan Gibbs-White penalty, but Liverpool equalized both times, first through Alexander Isak and then with a late deflected effort from Victor Munoz.

New Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is still searching for his first Premier League win with the club, having also drawn 2-2 with Newcastle in his first game last weekend. Iraola expressed frustration with the substitution process, citing technical difficulties with the fourth official's board that prevented him from making changes before Forest was awarded a penalty.

Iraola acknowledged a poor first half, but praised his team's improved intensity and speed in the second half, although it was not enough to secure a win. The draw was the second successive week Liverpool had come from behind to salvage a point.
