Victor Munoz marked his full debut with a goal to rescue a Premier League point for Liverpool at home to Nottingham Forest.
The Spain winger lashed home from Florian Wirtz's pass to level for Andoni Iraola's side with eight minutes remaining after Morgan Gibbs-White's penalty had put the visitors on course for three points.
Dan Ndoye had given Forest the lead midway through the first half, slotting home from Gibbs-White's pass after a simple long ball over the top took out the Liverpool defence.
Liverpool drew level on the hour mark when Alexander Isak tapped into an empty net from Cody Gakpo's pinpoint low cross.
But with Liverpool hoping to push on to find a winner, goalkeeper Alisson was adjudged to have brought down Neco Williams after a quick throw-in from Forest's new record signing Liam Delap.
The home side were furious with the decision but it was upheld and Gibbs-White sent Alisson the wrong way from the spot.
But, as they did at Newcastle last weekend, Liverpool battled back and Munoz thumped the ball home off the crossbar to equalise.
Neither side could find a winner, though, leaving both Iraola and Oliver Glasner without a win since taking over their respective sides in the summer.
After a slow start, Forest were the better side once the game settled and it took a superb block from Jeremy Jacquet to prevent Igor Jesus prodding home.
Ndoye also headed narrowly wide from James McAtee's clipped cross and by the time he did put Forest ahead, the lead was deserved.
Liverpool thought they had equalised 10 minutes later through Wirtz's smart finish but it was ruled out for offside in the build-up, and they could be grateful to Alisson that they did not go into half-time two down as he pushed Igor Jesus' effort on to the bar in first-half stoppage time.
Forest looked the more likely at the start of the second half to score but failed to make the most of a couple of promising counter-attacks, and were punished when Gakpo span Williams and crossed for Isak to equalise.
That brought the home crowd to life and suddenly Liverpool looked capable of going on to take all three points.
However, 10 minutes later, Forest were back in front. A long ball forward was put out for a throw-in, Delap and Williams spotted an opportunity and when Alisson came out to meet the latter, he caught the wing-back and referee Samuel Barrott pointed to the spot.
Gibbs-White finished emphatically and Forest fans were dreaming of a third consecutive league win at Anfield.
But Liverpool rallied again and Munoz's strike ensured the points were shared.
With a new manager, a new system and relatively new stars tasked with leading this new era at Anfield, patience was always going to be needed at Liverpool this season.
But with two forwards brought in for nine-figure fees - and a third on the way - Iraola is not likely to receive the same grace that saw him backed even after failing to win any of his first nine league games at Bournemouth.
This was another frustrating Liverpool performance with Forest able to limit them to few chances as they sat deep and invited the hosts to break them down.
The wide open spaces in midfield that proved so costly at Newcastle last weekend were not quite as evident after Iraola made the bold decision to drop Ryan Gravenberch in favour of Alexis Mac Allister, but the simplicity of the Forest goals will still have irked him.
One long ball caught them out for the first, while they appeared to switch off for the throw-in that led to the penalty.
That Wirtz and Isak were each involved in a goal was certainly a positive, though. They hold the key to Liverpool having a successful season and, quiet as Isak was otherwise, there will be few complaints if the goals keep coming.
Wirtz was brighter, albeit still with room for improvement, but then that could be said of the whole side.
More reinforcements may yet follow Bradley Barcola through the door before Tuesday's transfer deadline but regardless, Iraola will be hoping things start to click soon after another disjointed performance.
After back-to-back home defeats by Leeds to begin his reign, this was a huge step forward for Glasner's Forest.
It was a performance typified by the endeavours of Williams at wing-back, superb defensively while still providing a threat going forward.
Just seven minutes in, the former Liverpool player came across well from left wing-back to tackle Gakpo, who otherwise would have been eight yards out with the goal at his mercy, and did not look back.
Such tackles were a feature of an excellent display, while there was no hesitation to burst forward when he sensed the opportunity from the throw-in that led to the penalty.
Liverpool were on their heels, Williams was not.
With Gibbs-White dictating things in the final third - and both Ndoye and Igor Jesus causing problems - there was plenty for Glasner to enjoy.
The wait for a first win goes on but, on this showing, not for much longer. (BBC)
