Liverpool needed a late own goal to rescue a point after Sunderland threatened to pile even more pressure on head coach Arne Slot at Anfield. Sunderland took a deserved lead after 67 minutes when Chemsdine Talbi's 25-yard shot deflected off Virgil van Dijk and beyond the reach of Alisson.
Liverpool were lucky to come away with a draw after another insipid performance. Sunderland had looked the more comfortable for the majority of the game and hit the woodwork twice before a deflected long-range shot from Chemsdine Talbi gave them the lead.

Arne Slot spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Liveprool's draw against Sunderland: "Far too many times this season we don't concede a lot of chances but the ones that we do go in. We weren't lucky enough to get the win over the line but in recent weeks we would have lost this game so that is a positive.

Arne Slot opted against reintroducing Salah back into his starting XI in the week, having given the Egyptian no minutes in the 2–0 victory at West Ham on Sunday. Many wondered whether Liverpool’s recent stopping of the rot would prove to be a false dawn, or the start of a Reds resurgence, with the Hammers so meek in defeat on home soil.
