Liverpool held by Forest on Iraola’s Anfield debut

Andoni Iraola secured a 2-2 draw for Liverpool at Anfield, thanks to Victor Munoz's deflected goal that salvaged a point in his debut match. Nottingham Forest dominated from the start, with Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White putting them ahead twice through penalties. Alexander Isak briefly equalized, but Munoz's late effort ensured the draw.

Iraola acknowledged Liverpool's poor first-half performance but praised their improved second-half effort. Bradley Barcola, a target for months, is set to join Liverpool in the near future, potentially ending Cody Gakpo's stay at Anfield. Despite a record £450 million investment in new players last season, Liverpool remains vulnerable in defense, with Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong being replaced.

Oliver Glasner's Forest showed promise but ultimately fell short of winning, feeling frustrated by the result.
