What’s the point in beating Manchester City if you can’t beat Swansea?
That’s the question every Liverpool fan will be asking tonight, following their result against the Premier League’s bottom side.

Liverpool certainly didn’t have their scoring boots on this evening, despite boasting the goal-scoring threat of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
The second-highest scorers in the Premier League this season wasted a number of chances against the Swans, attempting 21 shots – with only four on target.

And their biggest and best chance came right at the death, when they looked nailed-on to score a late equaliser.

But the free-scoring Brazilian fired his header off the inside of the post, before the ball fell to Adam Lallana – who somehow smashes his shot over the bar from almost point-blank range.

The result has made things very interesting at the bottom of the table, with Swansea now level on points with West Brom, while just six points now separate the bottom 11 teams.
The incredibly likeable Carlos Carvalhal has picked up seven points in his four games in charge of the club, while fourth-placed Liverpool are still three points behind Chelsea.
