Liverpool maintained the 'Fortress' Anfield record after a bit of huff 'n' puff against Cardiff. The game was bereft of excitement for large parts until Liverpool decided to turn it on late in the game.
The key observations from the game:
The ebb and flow
This game was a funny one (and not in a good manner)....
Liverpool are top of the Premier League after a late spell of ruthless brilliance shattered Cardiff's hopes of stealing a point at Anfield.
The Reds' dominance levels in the first half were nigh-on historic as they enjoyed around 85% of the ball but, while there was some neat interplay, Mohamed Salah's opener proved the only...
A supposedly 'out of sorts' Mohamed Salah acted as conductor as Liverpool primed themselves at the top of the Premier League table with a routine 4-1 win against Cardiff.
Fresh of the back of a Champions League rout on Wednesday night, the Egyptian scored one and assisted two, taking his tally to seven for the season...
It's hardly been a vintage Liverpool this season, having struggled to produce their usual fluency and freneticism in attack. A narrow and nervy win against Huddersfield last weekend was testament to that, while their last venture in the Champions League against Napoli delivered an awful performance. Failing to register a shot until late in...
Liverpool put in another drab performance at Huddersfield, continuing their positive start with a 1-0 win but failing to showcase any of the frenetic transitional play that had them on everyone’s lips last season.

Mo Salah's 24th-minute goal, set up by Xherdan Shaqiri, was enough for Klopp's men to win on an evening where their...
Riyad Mahrez's late penalty miss has left Liverpool fans pondering whether their side's goalless draw with Manchester City represents a point gained or two points dropped.
On the one hand, the Reds could be thankful that they were not punished for what was an uninspiring performance, bereft of the anticipated vigour, but on the other,...
Liverpool secured a breathless point at Anfield to go into the second international break still unbeaten following a 0-0 draw with Champions Manchester City. But what were the key stats from a hard-fought contest?
Reds’ Attack Still Misfiring
It would be unfair to describe Liverpool’s front three as going through a crisis, but there are clearly...
Liverpool kept their unbeaten Premier League start intact, just, as Riyad Mahrez's late penalty miss cost Manchester City the chance for a first league win at Anfield since 2003.
A stalemate was the last thing expected between the country's two finest teams, but a mutual respect between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola saw chances few...
