Liverpool 2-2 Nottingham Forest: Munoz Equaliser

Sky Sports Champions League •

Victor Munoz thumped in a deflected leveller to rescue a point for Liverpool in a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Andoni Iraola was heading towards defeat in his first Anfield Premier League game in charge of Liverpool when Morgan Gibbs-White converted a debatable penalty with 20 minutes to play. But summer signing Munoz put an otherwise frustrating first appearance in front of his new home fans behind him with an emphatic equaliser.

A first win with Liverpool still remains elusive for Iraola, having seen his side also come from behind to draw 2-2 at Newcastle last weekend. He will hope the seemingly imminent arrival of £120m Bradley Barcola can kickstart their season. Iraola's side struggled to deal with the direct approach of Forest for much of that opening period, with a long ball from Matz Sels proving their undoing in the build-up to Dan Ndoye's opener.

The defending from Liverpool for that goal was poor but Forest boss Oliver Glasner will ultimately rue missed chances in that half, with a stunning stop from Alisson just before half-time to push Igor Jesus' shot onto the bar proving key. It was an entertaining, action-packed draw - but a frustrating one for both sides, who continue to look for their first league wins of the season.
