Victor Munoz earns Liverpool a point against Nottingham Forest in Iraola’s Anfield debut

Victor Munoz scored an 82nd-minute equaliser as Liverpool came from behind to draw 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Anfield, extending their wait for a first Premier League victory of the season.

The result gave Andoni Iraola two draws from his opening two league matches in charge of Liverpool. It also marked his first Premier League home game as manager, but Forest were denied what would have been an impressive away victory after Munoz struck late on.

Forest had taken the lead through Dan Ndoye in the 24th minute, with the Switzerland forward completing a swift counter-attack.

Goalkeeper Matz Sels began the move by sending a long pass upfield. Morgan Gibbs-White then released Ndoye, who kept his composure before placing his finish into the bottom corner.

Liverpool thought they had levelled before half-time when Florian Wirtz found the net, but the effort was ruled out for offside.

They did equalise in the 60th minute, however, when Alexander Isak finished from close range. Cody Gakpo created the opening on the left by turning away from his marker and driving a low cross across the face of goal. Two Forest defenders failed to make contact with the ball, allowing Isak to tap it into an unguarded net.

Forest regained the lead 10 minutes later after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was judged to have fouled Neco Williams inside the penalty area. Gibbs-White took responsibility from the spot and converted in the 70th minute to put the visitors 2-1 ahead.

Liverpool responded through Munoz, who was making his first start for the club. The newcomer collected the ball near the edge of the penalty area, turned and struck a powerful effort which went in off the crossbar.

That goal secured a point for Liverpool, although they remain without a league win after their first two matches under Iraola.

The club appointed Iraola this summer after Liverpool followed their 2025 Premier League title triumph with a disappointing fifth-place finish under Arne Slot last season. That campaign came despite Liverpool spending £446m a year earlier.

Forest, meanwhile, had looked on course to take all three points from their visit to Anfield after Gibbs-White’s penalty, but Munoz’s late intervention ensured the points were shared.
