Meanwhile, this was Liverpool's sixth consecutive loss at Anfield, which is its worst in EPL history. It would be looking to avoid seventh in a row across competitions when it hosts RB Leipzig during the second leg UEFA Champions League pre-quarters on Wednesday, as it leads 2-0 from the first leg.
