They were made to work for it – but Liverpool’s staggering unbeaten run at Anfield rolls on following their comeback victory against Sheffield United on Saturday.
Goals from Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota in a 2-1 win over the Blades ensured the Reds avoided a first three-match winless sequence in the Premier League since May 2018.
After a 7-2 defeat by Aston Villa and a 2-2 draw against Everton in the Merseyside derby, there may have been concern on the sidelines as the Blades took a 13th-minute lead at Anfield.
But there is a reason Jurgen Klopp’s side have now amassed a 62-game unbeaten home league run.
The Reds, without injured defensive stalwart Virgil van Dijk, have now won 28 of their past 29 league games at Anfield – while they are also unbeaten in their past 13 at home when they have conceded the first goal.
“I love these games. You have to work hard. You earn the easier games when it goes your way on nights like this,” said Liverpool manager Klopp.
“You always have to work hard against Sheffield United. It’s hard to take for Chris Wilder. They never give up, I respect that so much. They go and go and go. Chris is doing a wonderful job.”
