Iraola angry as official’s board delays subs before goal
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola criticised the delay in making a triple substitution during their 2-2 Premier League draw with Nottingham Forest, saying it contributed to frustration at a crucial stage of the match. The substitutes were still waiting when Forest took a quick throw-in and subsequently won a penalty to regain the lead, though pundits agreed the penalty itself was correctly awarded.
Iraola said fourth official Tim Robinson took about three minutes to resolve an apparent issue with the substitution board, despite Liverpool having requested changes at several earlier stoppages. Forest’s Neco Williams was fouled by goalkeeper Alisson after breaking through, before Victor Munoz scored his first Liverpool goal with eight minutes left to rescue a point.
