Liverpool beat Sheffield United 2-0 yesterday and is still two points behind the leader Arsenal, in the 15th matchday of the Premier League, in which Manchester City lost 1-0 at Aston Villa, leaving it six points behind from the top and was displaced from third place in the table by the “villains”.
In Sheffield, Liverpool added their second victory in a row with goals from Van Dijk and Szoboszlai and a new assist from Alexander-Arnold to remain on the lookout for Arsenal, which on Tuesday had beaten Luton 4-3 with a goal in stoppage time.
