Iraola Fumes over Delayed Substitution Before Penalty
Iraola said Liverpool waited about three minutes for a substitution board problem before Forest scored from a quick throw-in and won a penalty.
- On Saturday, Liverpool drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Anfield as manager Andoni Iraola expressed frustration over a technical delay preventing a triple substitution before Forest won a crucial penalty.
- The Basque manager had attempted to introduce Ryan Gravenberch, Kostas Tsimikas, and Rio Ngumoha, but fourth official Tim Robinson struggled with the electronic board, delaying the changes by roughly three minutes.
- Referee Sam Barrott awarded a spot-kick after Alisson Becker collided with Neco Williams, who had darted into the area from a quick Liam Delap throw-in; Morgan Gibbs-White converted the 70th-minute penalty.
- Expressing frustration, Iraola told TNT Sports, "I don't have an explanation" for the delay, adding that his team's poor first half contributed to the disappointing result.
- The result leaves the Reds with two points from their opening two matches; Liverpool will seek their first win traveling to Ipswich Town on Friday, September 4.
