Key Stats from Swansea 1-0 Liverpool

Swansea City 1-0 Liverpool: Abject Reds downed by Swans

Liverpool were agonisingly abject, going down by a single goal against Swansea City on Monday evening. Alfie Mawson's sweet finish in the first-half was enough for a dogged home side, who came into the match sitting bottom of the table.
