Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
Víctor Muñoz scored a superb late equaliser as Liverpool drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Anfield, denying the visitors a third successive Premier League win at the ground. The result marked a difficult opening home match of Andoni Iraola’s reign, as Forest repeatedly exposed defensive weaknesses despite Liverpool’s costly attacking talent.
Dan Ndoye put Forest ahead before Alexander Isak equalised around the hour mark, then Morgan Gibbs-White restored the visitors’ lead. Florian Wirtz had a first-half goal ruled out for offside, while Alisson made a crucial save from Igor Jesus before the interval; Liverpool’s new prospective vice-chair Amit Bhatia and Lakshmi Mittal watched from the directors’ box.

Liverpool are one of England’s most successful football clubs and play at Anfield, their home stadium in the city. Nottingham Forest are also a historic club, although they have spent much of the modern Premier League era outside the top division.
The Premier League is England’s top domestic competition, where points are awarded for wins and draws over a season. Matches between Liverpool and Forest can carry added interest because Forest have recently shown they can challenge stronger opponents, including away from home.
Andoni Iraola is Liverpool’s manager in this account, while the team’s expensive attacking players are expected to create and score goals regularly. Nottingham Forest’s key figures include players such as Morgan Gibbs-White, an attacking midfielder who has become an important part of their side.
