Liverpool 2-1 Sheffield United: The Reds bounced back after being held last week in the Merseyside derby
Liverpool climb to second with that win, level on points with leaders Everton, who play against Southampton tomorrow.
Sheffield United are still stuck on one point from their opening six games, although tonight’s display suggests they’ll start climbing the table soon enough. It doesn’t get any easier, though, with Manchester City and Chelsea to come.
Full-time
That’s it! Liverpool hold on for a hard-fought win, with Jota’s second-half header enough to seal the points. Sheffield United battled until the end and might feel they deserved something. But they didn’t quite have enough to stop the champions winning yet another game at Anfield.
90+2 min
Chance! A long ball is flicked on by McBurnie to Burke, who has time to pick his spot from the edge of the box. But he curls the ball over the bar and puts his head in his hands in disappointment.

Stevens tries to drill a cross into the middle but it deflects into the arms of Alisson, who’ll take his time distributing the ball.

Wijnaldum strikes the ball on his left foot but Ampadu is in the way. Then Mane, still with plenty of energy, wins possession on the left and goes down as he drives into the box. Mike Dean waves away the penalty appeals.
87 min
Wijnaldum skillfully creates some space on the right and plays the ball to Salah, who cuts inside and tries a low shot. It’s blocked, and moments later Mane sends a shot of his own over the bar.
86 min
Sheffield United send more crosses into the box but each of them is repelled by a Liverpool defender. The final ball is the only thing lacking for the visitors.
