Liverpool's failure to handle the agricultural revolution at the summit of the English game provided their undoing again here. Five times they've conceded in stoppage time now too. There is little right now to suggest they win this top-4 race. Verdict.

The scrap for Champions League qualification goes on for Liverpool and it's a dogfight that Arne Slot dare not lose. Rarely has a dozen-game unbeaten sequence been this uninspired.
