Sunderland 2-2 Liverpool: Twitter Reacts As Reds Held To Frustrating Draw 1

Liverpool’s four-match winning run came to a disappointing end as they were held to s 2-2 draw by Sunderland as the Reds missed the chance to close the gap on league leaders, Chelsea.

Jurgen Klopp’s side took the lead in the 19th minute when Daniel Sturridge, who was given a rare start, found the back of the net with a header after Dejan Lovren’s mishit shot. However, the lead was short-lived as Jermain Defoe hit the equaliser from the spot after Ragnar Klavan fouled Didier Ndong in the box. The first half ended 1-1 and the Reds started emphatically in the second half as they were growing desperate to take the lead. Sadio Mane, playing his last game before leaving for Africa Cup of Nations, gave his team the deserved lead in the 72nd minute before conceding a penalty that allowed the Black Cats to equalise once again.

Liverpool are currently second in the table, five points behind Chelsea but the Blues can extend their lead to eight points if they beat Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.
