Munoz earns Liverpool draw with Forest, Hull up to second, Newcastle beat Spurs

LIVERPOOL, Aug 29 : Liverpool's Victor Munoz struck a late equaliser to salvage a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but Andoni Iraola's side were left still searching for their first Premier League win this season after his first home league game.

Forest had looked set to leave Anfield with all three points, in what would have been a first league victory in charge for Oliver Glasner, when Morgan Gibbs-White converted a 70th-minute penalty, awarded after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson fouled Neco Williams in the area, for a 2-1 lead.

But newcomer Munoz, in his first start for Liverpool, equalised in the 82nd minute, when he spun and blasted a shot from the edge of the box that went in off the crossbar.

Newcastle United piled the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur coach Roberto De Zerbi with a 2-0 win in Saturday's late game, with second-half goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa leaving Spurs with nothing to show for an improved performance.

Spurs spurned several first-half chances before Elanga scored his second goal in as many league games and Wissa's acrobatic finish 10 minutes later ended the contest to deepen the gloom around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Elsewhere, Bournemouth were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton, while Hull City left it late to beat fellow promoted side Coventry City 1-0 to move provisionally up to second place.

FOREST LED AT HALF-TIME

Forest had opened the scoring at Anfield through Dan Ndoye in the 24th minute, the Swiss forward finishing off a rapid counterattack that began with goalkeeper Matz Sels launching a long ball upfield before Gibbs-White slipped him through to slot coolly into the bottom corner.

Liverpool had a first-half effort from Florian Wirtz chalked off after a VAR review
