Iraola awaits first win as Liverpool rescue late draw against Forest
WHAT HAPPENED
Liverpool rallied twice to salvage a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at Anfield. The hosts found themselves pegged back on two occasions but recovered each time to avoid defeat.

The result leaves new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola still waiting for his first Premier League victory in charge of the club.

KEY CONTEXT
This was a Premier League fixture played at Liverpool’s home ground, Anfield, against Nottingham Forest. Andoni Iraola is newly appointed as Liverpool’s manager and has not yet registered a league win since taking charge.

WHY IT MATTERS
A home draw after twice coming from behind highlights Liverpool’s ability to respond in matches, but it also means Iraola’s search for an inaugural league win continues. For a new manager at a club of Liverpool’s stature, securing that first victory is an early milestone and a measure of initial progress.

WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
Confirmed facts: the match finished 2-2 and Iraola remains without a Premier League win. The immediate question is when the manager will record that first league victory with Liverpool — that will be the next key barometer of his start at the club.

KEY FACTS
- Liverpool 2-2 Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
- Liverpool came from behind on two occasions.
- Andoni Iraola is the club’s new manager.
