​Nottingham Forest have played out a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in their second Premier League fixture, played at Anfield in the early kick-off on Saturday.

​The visitors opened the scoring in the 24th minute after Dan Ndoye slotted home from Morgan Gibbs-White’s pass, following a simple long ball over the top that caught out the Liverpool defence.

​The Reds drew level on the hour mark when Alexander Isak tapped into an empty net from Cody Gakpo’s pinpoint low cross.

​The referee then adjudged that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson had brought down Neco Williams after a quick throw-in from Forest’s new signing, Liam Delap.

​Gibbs-White later stepped up to give Forest the lead once again in the 70th minute.

​However, as they did at Newcastle last weekend, Liverpool battled back, with Muñoz thumping the ball home off the crossbar to equalise.

​The match eventually ended in a stalemate as neither side could find a winner in regulation time.
