Munoz saves Iraola in Liverpool draw, Hull extend dream start
Liverpool secured a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest thanks to a late goal by Victor Munoz, while Newcastle defeated Tottenham 2-0. The results reflect ongoing challenges for managers Andoni Iraola and Roberto De Zerbi in the Premier League.
Why it matters
These results impact the competitive standings of major English football clubs and highlight the pressure on high-profile managers early in the season.
Victor Munoz saved Andoni Iraola from his first defeat as Liverpool manager with the late strike that rescued a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, while Newcastle condemned big-spending Tottenham to a second successive defeat.
Forest were set to win at Anfield for the third consecutive season as Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White's penalty twice put the visitors in front.
Alexander Isak briefly brought Liverpool level in the second half before Munoz's deflected effort rescued a late point for the second time in Iraola's two matches in charge.
"It's quite clear the first half has been poor, we haven't controlled the game," Iraola said.
"We improved a lot in the second half, much more intense, much quicker on the ball but not enough to win the game."
