Liverpool v Sunderland live: Latest score and goal updates from Premier League clash tonight

70 mins: A reminder that Alexander Isak has been playing since the first whistle. I forgot and I think you might have too.

Arne Slot needs to bring Hugo Ekitike on.

Sunderland lead and it’s nothing short of what they deserve!

It’s shocking defending from Liverpool’s captain, with Virgil van Dijk giving the ball away sloppily before pulling out his best ‘aura defending’ and failing to close down Talbi, who is bearing down on the box.

He then turns his back as the winger lets fly, with the shot deflecting off of him and beyond Alisson.

Here’s Richard Jolly inside Anfield:

“So Slot’s new right flank didn’t last long. Szoboszlai is back in the middle of midfield and Gomez has been subbed as Liverpool look for a winner. Not that, realistically, it had looked a long-term partnership on the right.”

65 mins: Salah gets the chance to shoot but he doesn’t catch it properly and it’s simple for Roefs.

Another Liverpool change now – Gomez, on a booking, is off for Jones.

63 mins: Le Bris is making an attacking change. Isidor is coming on for Brobbey, whose first Sunderland start comes to an end.

61 mins: OFF THE POST! Alderete comes a post-widths from giving Sunderland the lead.

He leaps above everyone to meet the corner but can’t quite get the direction to divert his powerful header in at the near post.

59 mins: Salah’s introduction has injected energy into this game.

Liverpool are pressing higher and getting into the box more often, even if it hasn’t led to much so far. It’s better.

That said, they need to be careful. After a period of pressure, a Konate mistake allows Brobbey to break. The Frenchman is lucky the ball doesn’t run right for Brobbey and then Talbi.

55 mins: Down the left flank, Reinildo knocks the ball beyond Gomez who promptly hacks him down to concede a foul and earn a stonewall booking.

He joins Le Fee in the book, who saw yellow a mere minute earlier.

The Frenchman delivers the free-kick but it goes over everyone and the crossbar.

Here’s Richard Jolly at Anfield:

“The game has been transformed by Salah’s arrival, even if he hasn’t yet achieved that much. There is more energy and urgency, as well as rather more volume from the stands.”

52 mins: Brobbey looks to link up with Sadiki to send the latter through on goal but he’s sent flying by the challenge of Konate.

The Frenchman slides in and does get the ball, but there is an initial fear that the follow through may be troubling. Replays show all is fine – it’s just a sore one.
