In the kind of match that supporters have become accustomed to Liverpool drawing or even losing, the Reds benefited from a bit of fortune to beat Swansea 1-0 at Anfield.
They capitalised on referee Anthony Taylor’s deference to his assistant, who flagged Neil Taylor for a penalty area handball and James Milner converted from the spot in the 63rd minute for the winner.
This result was as much a testament to Jurgen Klopp’s influence as last weekend’s dismantling of Manchester City, although not nearly as appealing.
Despite lacking a cutting edge in attack, the Reds looked like the side more likely to grind out a win than suffer a smash-and-grab loss. They club continues to be harder to beat and seems like a side who are capable of finding ways to win.
Here are four findings from the match.
