Il Nuovo Postiglione - Munoz saves Iraola in Liverpool draw, Hull extend dream start

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."

After a 2-2 draw at Newcastle in his first game as Liverpool boss last weekend, Iraola had hoped for a memorable day to mark his first match in charge at Anfield.

But instead the former Bournemouth boss got a reminder of why he was hired to replace the sacked Arne Slot in the close-season.

Iraola could have Bradley Barcola to unleash by the time Liverpool are next in action at Ipswich on Friday.

The France winger has been one of the Reds' top targets for months and a £106 million ($144 million) deal with Paris Saint-Germain, which could rise by a further £17 million, is reportedly close to completion.

"I cannot tell you anything right now. There are still things going on at this moment," Iraola said.

"Now we have to wait and look forward to having the squad on September 2, when this is who we are and can work with certainties."

- Hull on the rise -

Hull substitute Liam Millar struck in the closing stages to steal a 1-0 win at Coventry.

Millar slotted home with eight minutes left as Hull won a battle between sides promoted from the Championship last term.

Having stunned Manchester United with a 2-0 victory last weekend, Sergej Jakirovic's men have won both their matches in their first season in the top tier since 2016-17.

Frank Lampard's Coventry won the Championship to end a 25-year exile from the Premier League, but they are still awaiting their first point back in the big time after losing their opener at Arsenal last week.

James Tarkowski's stoppage-time equaliser earned Everton a 1-1 draw that left Marco Rose still waiting for his first win as Bournemouth manager.

Alex Scott's 41st-minute goal put Bournemouth ahead at the Vitality Stadium.

But Everton defender Tarkowski capitalised on a mix-up between Ryan Christie and Marcus Tavernier to drill home following a corner in the closing seconds.

Everton remain unbeaten after a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace last weekend, while Bournemouth were beaten 2-1 at Manchester City in Rose's first game since replacing Iraola.

Later on Saturday, big-spending Tottenham face Newcastle as Roberto De Zerbi's side look to bounce back from their embarrassing 3-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend.

Manchester City eased to a 4-1 win at Crystal Palace on Friday thanks to two goals each from Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland.
