- After a 2-0 victory against Brighton, Liverpool came within striking distance of Manchester City atop the Premier League table.
- Despite the Seagulls’ heroics in October, when they came from two goals behind to force a draw at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp’s men were unlucky not to take all three points this time around.
- When Robert Sanchez sprinted off his line to intercept a Luis Diaz header in the first half, Diaz sustained a hefty punch on the head. However, a VAR review found no evidence of the goalie engaging in any questionable conduct.
- Mohamed Salah’s second-half penalty gave Liverpool a two-goal lead and they cruised to a 3-0 win against Manchester City.
- Liverpool came back from their first home loss in a year against Inter Milan in the Champions League to win their eighth consecutive Premier League match. The Reds have now scored 21 goals and conceded just two in that run.
