Liverpool and Nottingham Forest shared the spoils 2-2 after what turned out to be an entertaining game of Premier League football at Anfield.
As was the case against Newcastle United last week, the Reds had to come from behind twice to secure a priceless point at home.
Alexander Isak and Victor Munoz scored for the home side, while Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White got their names on the scoresheet for the visitors.
And there was a bit of controversy involving the latter penalty, which Iraola spoke about after the game.
Andoni Iraola rips into fourth official
Moments before Alisson Becker’s foul on Neco Williams, the Spaniard was ready with a triple sub as he wanted to bring on Kostas Tsimikas, Rio Ngumoha and Ryan Gravenberch.
However, the fourth official took ages to prepare the subs and their numbers on the announcement board and the Reds were punished as they conceded a goal in that period.
When asked about the incident, Iraola pulled no punches with his assessment of the situation.
“A professional fourth official cannot take three minutes for the subs,” said Iraola via TNT Sports.
“I was very angry because in the previous stop we couldn’t make it. Before the throw-in, we said, let’s do it now. I don’t know how to explain it, but it took ages.”
