Liverpool's substitutions delayed by electronic board issue during Forest match
Summary

Andoni Iraola expressed frustration over an electronic board malfunction that delayed Liverpool's substitutions during their 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on August 29, 2026, at Anfield. The delay prevented Liverpool from making a critical triple substitution before Forest was awarded a penalty, which Morgan Gibbs-White converted in the 70th minute. Despite the setback, Liverpool managed to equalize with an 82nd-minute goal from Victor Munoz. Iraola remains winless in his first two matches as Liverpool's manager.
