Liverpool avoided a scare at home to Sheffield United by responding to Conor Bradley’s own goal with crucial finishes from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo.
Whether it proves to be as significant as the one which paved the way for their Champions League win will only be discovered over the next eight games but in the short term it took Liverpool two points clear of Arsenal and three ahead of Manchester City. The classy Mac Allister, one of the most composed players on the pitch, relieved that and substitute Gakpo’s late effort was an added boost to the goal difference which could yet be crucial.
Ben Brereton-Diaz then flicked the resulting corner wide and while taking either of those chances may not have been enough for the leakiest side in the top flight it would have at least given them something to cling on to. Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz all had attempts, while Ryan Gravenberch showed his lack of recent game time in shooting weakly at Grbic instead of playing in Nunez.
