In Iraola's Anfield opener, the Reds fell behind twice, with Alexander Isak bagging the first equaliser, before Víctor Muñoz marked his home debut by lashing home late on. The Swede's goal rounded off an excellent team move, in which Florian Wirtz's passed the ball to Cody Gakpo, who spun Neco Williams quite balletically, before and inch-perfect low cross that Isak simply could not miss.

The fact it had an xG figure of 0.99 means you or I could have scored! — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) August 29, 2026Astonishingly, considering he arrived from Newcastle for £130 million a year ago, this was only Isak's fifth goal in Liverpool red, and just a third at Anfield, previously netting against Southampton in the EFL Cup and Crystal Palace. Similarly, within ten minutes of Isak's goal, Alisson's foul on Neco Williams gave Forest a penalty, one that Morgan Gibbs-White expertly converted.

Well, one way will surely be to get the best out of Isak. Thus, one of Iraola's priorities, ahead of Friday night's visit to Portman Road, has to be to figure out how to enhance Isak's full potential.
