Our 11-game unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end on Wednesday night as we fell to a late 2-1 defeat against Liverpool.
The Reds opened the scoring at Anfield as Mohammed Salah struck on 26 minutes, but we were level within nine minutes as Heung-Min Son raced clear to stroke the ball home. We had a flurry of chances at the start of the second half to put ourselves in front, but it was our hosts in the end who found the decisive goal - Roberto Firmino heading in with just moments left.
