Liverpool rescue point against Forest but Iraola still waits for first win

Liverpool were forced to settle for a point at Anfield after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.\n\nForest struck first through Dan Ndoye before Liverpool responded through Alexander Isak. Morgan Gibbs-White then restored the visitors’ advantage from the penalty spot, but substitute Victor Muñoz levelled late on to rescue a point for the home side.\n\nThe result leaves Liverpool still without a Premier League win under new manager Andoni Iraola. The performance improved after the interval, but Liverpool again showed the defensive and intensity issues that have marked their opening matches of the campaign.\n\nFor Forest, the draw represented another encouraging display under Oliver Glasner. They showed enough threat to punish Liverpool when opportunities opened up and held their shape for long periods at Anfield.\n\nIraola will now turn his attention to finding greater consistency, particularly in the opening stages of matches. Liverpool have shown they can create chances and recover from setbacks, but the early-season results underline how much work remains in the new manager’s project.
