Match Report: Liverpool's Little Dancer Does It!
Hold me closer little dancer,
Count the headlights on the highway,
Lay me down in sheets of linen,
You've had a busy day today.
How much did Liverpool need Mo Salah to score that goal? How much did Naby Keita need to come through like that? How much did Jordan Henderson need to grab the reins of this team and be a big part of a clutch victory?
Strange to say about a Liverpool side that is two wins away …
Key Stats As Stuttering Liverpool Limp To A 0-0 Against Man United

Brighton 0-1 Liverpool: Who was man of the match?
Grinding out a win when not at your best is a mark of champions, according to the old footballing axiom. Brighton made life difficult for Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, but when the Reds found the breakthrough their game-management was superb.

Now it’s up to Spurs against United on Sunday and City against Wolves to keep up the pace.
The match was one that …
Observations as Liverpool lose their cloak of invincibility at the Etihad
Well... That was a bit shit, wasn't it?

Reds stutter as superb City end the unbeaten run
That Brexit midfield. That Dejan Lovren. Why? Just why?
