Liverpool drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Anfield, with summer signing Víctor Muñoz scoring a late equaliser to prevent the visitors securing a third successive Premier League victory there. The result offered a difficult start to Andoni Iraola’s Anfield reign, as Forest repeatedly exploited Liverpool’s defensive weaknesses despite the hosts’ expensive attacking additions.

Dan Ndoye opened the scoring for Forest after Liverpool failed to deal with a long clearance, before Alexander Isak levelled around the hour mark. Morgan Gibbs-White restored Forest’s lead, but Muñoz’s impressive late finish earned Liverpool a point; Florian Wirtz also had a first-half goal ruled out for offside, while Alisson made an important save from Igor Jesus before the interval.
