Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, with debutant Victor Munoz scoring a late equaliser to deny new manager Andoni Iraola a winning start on home soil, according to Goal.com.
The match marked Iraola's first Premier League game at Anfield since taking charge of Liverpool. The Reds appeared to be heading for victory, but Munoz struck a long-range effort late in the game to level the score and frustrate the home crowd, as reported by Sky Sports.
The result leaves Liverpool with a share of the points in what Goal.com described as a frustrating afternoon. Sky Sports noted that the draw came as big-spending Tottenham suffered another defeat elsewhere in the league, though the report did not provide further details on that match.
BBC reported that Iraola was left frustrated by the length of time it took to make substitutions during the game. The manager was reportedly unable to change his side's shape as quickly as he would have liked, which may have contributed to Forest finding a way back into the contest.
Channels Television also covered the match, highlighting the significance of the result for Forest, who managed to take something from a difficult away fixture. The draw means Liverpool drop points in their early season campaign under their new boss.
With the international break now approaching, Iraola will have time to work with his squad on the training ground. The focus will be on tightening up late-game management and ensuring Liverpool convert leads into wins when the Premier League resumes.
