Andoni Iraola made his competitive debut as Liverpool manager at Anfield on Saturday, facing Nottingham Forest in a Premier League match. The game ended in a 2-2 draw after Liverpool equalized late in the action, with Victor Munoz scoring a crucial goal to salvage a point for the home side.

Nottingham Forest initially took the lead through Dan Ndoye, followed by a second goal from Morgan Gibbs-White, putting pressure on Liverpool. Oliver Glasner, the Forest manager, was looking for his first win in charge of the club amid the team's performance.

Liverpool struggled to capitalize in the first half, and a delay in substitutions due to a mistake with the subs board left Iraola frustrated. This delay resulted in Liverpool conceding a penalty shortly before they regrouped and made changes.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Liverpool managed to equalize through Munoz, ensuring that Iraola’s first game at Anfield did not end in defeat. The match showcased competitive spirit from both teams, as they vied for critical points in the league.
