Iraola’s First Anfield Match as Liverpool Manager Ends in Monaco Defeat

Alsharq Tribune- Hosam Hassan 

Andoni Iraola's first Anfield match as Liverpool manager ended in a 3-2 friendly defeat by Monaco on Sunday after his side squandered a two-goal lead for the second week in a row.

Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz put the Reds ahead, but like against Leeds last week in Chicago -- when Liverpool were two goals up but lost 4-2 -- they were unable to preserve their lead.

Aleksandr Golovin's penalty and Mika Biereth got Monaco back on level terms, before Paris Brunner headed in a late winner. Iraola made 11 changes to his side in the second half and gave a first Liverpool appearance to new signing Victor Munoz.
