Victor Munoz marked his Anfield debut by scoring a crucial equalizer, rescuing a point for Liverpool in a challenging 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

The match saw Nottingham Forest, who had a strong start, take the lead twice. Dan Ndoye put the visitors ahead in the first half, and after Liverpool equalized through Alexander Isak following a Cody Gakpo assist, Nottingham Forest was awarded a penalty. Captain Morgan Gibbs-White converted the spot-kick after goalkeeper Alisson Becker was penalized for a foul.

Liverpool gets approval for coming back and saving a point. But there are probably many Liverpool supporters who go home disappointed.

Despite the setbacks, Liverpool showed resilience. Experts noted that while salvaging a point was commendable, the team's performance raised concerns. "It doesn't look like a whole. It's layer by layer. (...) This is not good enough," commented Viaplay expert Lars Tjรฆrnรฅs on the team's disjointed play.

Florian Wirtz had a goal disallowed for offside in the first half, and Alisson Becker made a key save to deny Ndoye. However, it was Munoz's late strike that ultimately secured a draw for Liverpool, who now have two draws from their opening fixtures and face Ipswich next.

It doesn't look like a whole. It's layer by layer. (...) This is not good enough.
