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)....
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.
