"Wednesday marked one of the few nights that the match ended, and I was extremely impressed with how we played defensively. Ali didn't have much to do and that is a testament to the work that was being put in, in front of him."
"Ibrahima Konate has struggled this season with big, burly attackers who like to get up close and personal, but he showed tonight why he had the likes of Real Madrid keeping eyes on him in the summer. He didn't give Brobbey a sniff and was instrumental in blocking most shots that could have caught us out."
"Robbo really stepped up, and I'm sure Milos Kerkez was watching every move. It's actually nice to have some competition for a place because, as of right now, based on that performance, I'd be happy with either."
Liverpool earned a rare 1-0 away victory at the Stadium of Light by delivering a defensively solid performance that limited Sunderland chances. Ibrahima Konaté stood out by neutralizing Brobbey and blocking dangerous attempts, while Alisson remained largely untested due to strong protection from the backline. Wataru Endo performed well but suffered an injury that left right-back cover thin. Andy Robertson produced a convincing display, creating competition with Milos Kerkez for the left-back spot. Virgil van Dijk provided calm leadership and decisive influence, earning man-of-the-match recognition amid difficult atmosphere and early Sunderland pressure.
