Liverpool’s new era under Andoni Iraola is off to a frustratingly familiar start. For the second consecutive Premier League match, the Reds surrendered a lead deficit, clawed back, and walked away with a single point instead of three, drawing 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Anfield on August 29, 2026.
Two points from two games. That’s not exactly the opening chapter anyone at Anfield was hoping to write for the 2026/27 season.
Forest struck first, twice
Nottingham Forest came into this match desperate. Two losses to Leeds to open the campaign left Nuno Espírito Santo’s side pointless and searching for answers.
Dan Ndoye broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute, giving Forest a first-half lead. The equalizer finally arrived in the 59th minute. Alexander Isak, Liverpool’s marquee striker, found the net to level things at 1-1.
