A nightmare start for the home side saw Leandro Trossard strike twice within the opening 20 minutes, and it was only courtesy of Alisson that Liverpool didn’t fall behind further.
The Reds got a goal back when Jordan Henderson linked up with Mohamed Salah, who cut the ball back for Roberto Firmino to score, with a VAR review required to confirm Salah was onside and reduce the deficit to one before the half-time break.
Luis Diaz was introduced at the break, and Liverpool didn’t take long to restore parity as a result of his play on the left-hand side. The Colombia international looked to isolate defenders, and he soon found Firmino, who beat his man inside the box before finishing clinically past Robert Sanchez.
Buoyed by momentum, Jurgen Klopp’s side completed their comeback less than 10 minutes later. Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s corner wasn’t dealt with by Sanchez, and there wasn’t much Adam Webster could do as the ball deflected off him and into the back of the net.
Liverpool looked in control after managing to get themselves in front until a cross from the left-flank was missed by Virgil van Dijk in the 83rd minute, finding Trossard at the back post who made no mistake with the finish.
Alexander-Arnold’s free kick required a touch from Sanchez late on to secure a well-earned point for the visitors.
