"A deflected shot from the potential 116m recruit spared the Premier League champions the ignominy of a 10th defeat in 14 games with a late equaliser against Sunderland, who will count this as an opportunity missed. Chemsdine Talbi had set the in-form visitors on course for a first win at Anfield since 1983 before Wirtz levelled in style in the 81st minute."
"Mohamed Salah stood alone briefly during the warm-up casting envious glances at the ten outfield starters being put through their paces on the opposite side of the pitch. He was not among them, again. For the first time in his phenomenal Liverpool career the Egypt international was consigned to the substitutes' bench for a second successive game. It was uncharted territory for the Anfield great as Slot stuck to the side that eased the pressure with victory at West Ham on Sunday"
"Few could have predicted that newly promoted Sunderland would be above the reigning champions in the table come December, but Regis Le Bris's side showed why in a high-tempo, confident opening. Brian Brobbey led the line impressively on his first Premier League start and engaged Ibrahima Konate in a constant physical battle. Close support from Noah Sadiki and Enzo Le Fee, allied to neat, one touch football, ensured the Liverpool defence were never comfortable."
Florian Wirtz scored a deflected late equaliser in the 81st minute to rescue a 1-1 draw for Liverpool at Anfield against Sunderland. Chemsdine Talbi put Sunderland ahead, setting the visitors on course for their first win at Anfield since 1983. Federico Chiesa made a superb goalline clearance in stoppage time to deny Sunderland a late winner after substitute Wilson Isidor rounded Alisson. Mohamed Salah was an unused substitute for a second consecutive game as Arne Slot kept the side largely unchanged. Sunderland began brightly under Regis Le Bris, with Brian Brobbey causing Liverpool defensive problems.
