Munoz rescues point as Iraola waits for first Liverpool win

Munoz thumped in a deflected strike in the 82nd minute to deny Nottingham Forest victory at Anfield. The summer signing's first appearance in front of the Kop arrived just when his team needed it most, following Morgan Gibbs-White's converted penalty 12 minutes earlier.

Forest had seemed set for victory after Gibbs-White sent Alisson the wrong way from the spot, awarded following the goalkeeper's contact with Neco Williams. Yet Liverpool staged a second-half recovery that proved decisive—Alexander Isak had earlier equalised Ndoye's opener by tapping in Cody Gakpo's low cross.

Dan Ndoye had given Forest the lead in the first half, capitalising on sloppy defending after latching onto a long ball from goalkeeper Matz Sels. Liverpool struggled to contain Forest's direct approach throughout an opening period they will want to forget, though Alisson made a stunning save to deny Igor Jesus before the break.

Iraola's side remain searching for their first league win of the season, having also drawn 2-2 at Newcastle last weekend, according to Sky Sports. The Liverpool manager hopes the imminent arrival of Bradley Barcola, signed for £120m, can provide the catalyst needed to kickstart their campaign.

For Forest, Oliver Glasner will rue missed first-half chances despite the draw offering a point neither team wished to surrender.
