Liverpool were unable to build on the momentum gained from their victory at West Ham United on Sunday, as they struggled their way to a point against Sunderland at Anfield.
There was a good feeling about the Reds’ triumph over West Ham United at the weekend, which stopped a dismal run. But Arne Slot’s side were second best on home soil against the newly promoted side and rather fortunate to walk away with a 1–1 draw.
Slot once again opted to leave Mohamed Salah on the bench, but brought him on at half time following a drab first half. Sunderland were once again impressive, but in truth, they didn’t exactly have to be spectacular to make what’s typically a daunting away day look relatively serene.
The draw moves the Black Cats up to sixth, while Liverpool are eighth, ahead of Manchester United’s clash with West Ham on Thursday night.
