Liverpool went back to the top of the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United thanks to goals from Darwin Núñez, Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo
were surprisingly holding a door open to Arsenal and Manchester City in the title race. Alexis Mac Allister slammed it shut magnificently. Another decisive contribution from the World Cup winner returned Jürgen Klopp’s team to the Premier League summit as Liverpool held their nerve and their advantage yet again.
United came close to opening the scoring inside the first minute when Jack Robinson’s long throw was flicked into the path of James McAtee. With the Liverpool defence caught cold and the on-loan Manchester City forward all alone at the back post it needed a point-blank save from Caoimhín Kelleher to prevent a shock early lead.
Several promising counterattacks for United early in the second half added to Klopp’s anxiety, and his fears were realised when one resulted in a shock equaliser. Gustavo Hamer instigated the break by releasing McAtee down the right before sprinting towards the Liverpool penalty area. When the forward’s deep cross arrived at the back post, and just over Ben Brereton Díaz, Hamer’s header back across goal struck Bradley on the shin and rolled through the legs of Kelleher.
