Liverpool draw 2-2 with Forest as Barcola deal agreed

Liverpool drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday, August 29, 2026, leaving new manager Andoni Iraola still searching for his first league victory. The result at the City Ground came on the same day the club was reported to have reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for the signing of France international winger Bradley Barcola. The match saw Liverpool twice come from behind to secure a point. Forest took the lead through Dan Ndoye, with Alexander Isak scoring the first equalizer for the visitors. Morgan Gibbs-White then restored Forest's advantage from the penalty spot before summer signing Víctor Muñoz rescued a draw for Liverpool with an 82nd-minute strike that went in off the crossbar. Florian Wirtz provided the assist for the late equalizer. The draw followed a 2-2 result at Newcastle in Iraola's first Premier League match in charge the previous weekend. The new manager now faces the challenge of securing his first win as the club continues to strengthen its squad ahead of the transfer window's close on Tuesday. On the transfer front, Liverpool has reportedly agreed a deal with PSG for Barcola.
