When Swansea City, with as many managerial changes as wins this seasons, arrived at Anfield, nobody would have expected this.
Paul Clement’s side frustrated the home team in the first half, while a lack of incision costing the Reds.

The opening 15 minutes here has reminded me that I’ve got a fair bit of ironing to do when I get home.

Things seriously picked up in the second half with Fernando Llorente getting the ball rolling in what would prove to be the best 45 minutes of football this season.

A fine decision of mine to fuck off the second half of the Liverpool game after that shite first half.

The Spaniard doubled the Swans lead soon after with a phenomenal header.
GOAL Liverpool 0-2 Swansea (52 mins). Llorente strikes again! The forward smashes home a powerful header from a smart Carroll cross #LIVSWA

Liverpool quickly back into it with two great goals from Roberto Firmino.
Firmino is : TOP player ?

Roberto Firmino has scored more goals today (2) than he did in his last 10 Premier League games combined (1).
What a strike. pic.twitter.com/IARsidRMxE

Brilliant equaliser from Firmino. Anticipation, athleticism, eyes always on the ball, great finish (plus poor marking). Great half. #LIVSWA

It then seemed only a matter of time before Klopp’s side would get the winner but that didn’t quite go to plan.

And finally breath…
The win lifts the Welsh side out of the relegation zone and casts serious doubts over Liverpool’s title challenge this early in the season. They could finish the weekend outside the top three.
