VICTOR MUNOZ marked his full debut with a goal to rescue a Premier League point for Liverpool at home to Nottingham Forest yesterday.
The Spain winger lashed home from Florian Wirtz’s pass to level for Andoni Iraola’s side with eight minutes remaining after Morgan Gibbs-White’s penalty had put the visitors on course for three points.
Dan Ndoye had given Forest the lead midway through the first half, slotting home from Gibbs-White’s pass after a simple long ball over the top took out the Liverpool defence. Liverpool drew level on the hour mark when Alexander Isak tapped into an empty net from Cody Gakpo’s pinpoint low cross.
But with Liverpool hoping to push on to find a winner, goalkeeper Alisson was adjudged to have brought down Neco Williams after a quick throw-in from Forest’s new record signing Liam Delap. The home side were furious with the decision but it was upheld and Gibbs-White sent Alisson the wrong way from the spot.
But, as they did at Newcastle last weekend, Liverpool battled back and Munoz thumped the ball home off the crossbar to equalise. Neither side could find a winner, though, leaving both Iraola and Oliver Glasner without a win since taking over their respective sides in the summer. — BBC
