Liverpool and Nottingham Forest played out a 2-2 draw at Anfield in the Premier League opener. Beth Lindop reported for ESPN that the result felt familiar, echoing last season's struggles. Forest struck first through Dan Ndoye, but Liverpool equalized via Alexander Isak.

Morgan Gibbs-White restored Forest's lead from the penalty spot. Substitute Víctor Muñoz rescued a draw with a powerful finish. Manager Andoni Iraola made his Anfield dugout debut, inheriting a team unable to shake last season's bad habits.

The result extends Liverpool's winless run to six games, their longest since 2012. Principal owner John Henry and vice-chairman Amit Bhatia watched from the director's box. Florian Wirtz had a goal disallowed for Jeremie Frimpong's offside.

Dominik Szoboszlai was deployed at right back in attack. The draw leaves Liverpool searching for consistency early in the campaign.
