"Another poor result for Liverpool as they were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday night. What should have been a routine victory for the reigning champions instead became another stumbling block in a season that is rapidly spiraling out of control. Despite having home advantage, the Reds were second best for most part of the game."
"I think a bit similar to the weekend. A game where we didn't concede a lot, we didn't create a lot. Very unlucky with the goal we conceded with a deflection. I liked our reaction afterwards Not a lot of chances for both teams, but I think we had a bit more and we were very unlucky the second half because we kept trying, trying, trying, and we came back strong."
Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland at Anfield, extending a troubling slump. Chemsdine Talbi's deflected strike gave Sunderland a shock lead, and a fortunate own goal eventually levelled for Liverpool. Sunderland defended compactly and pressed aggressively, and nearly won late before Chiesa's goal-line block. The performance lacked the spark and intensity of the previous title-winning campaign, with Liverpool largely second-best despite home advantage. Manager Arne Slot described the game as similar to recent matches, noted few chances for either side, praised the team's reaction, and conceded difficulty in understanding the club's sudden decline.
