Competition focus
The state is down! After a 5-2 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League, back in the league Reds' 0-0 draw away to Crystal Palace, Klopp's side were unable to break through the door. Liverpool had 36 points to move Brighton to seventh in the league, six points away from fourth-placed Tottenham.
Hit the crossbar! Salah was unable to continue his scoring momentum and hit the crossbar with a curved shot from the second half. Salah's form this season has been markedly worse than last season, when he scored 23 goals in the Premier League last season and won the Golden Boot, while he has scored just eight goals in the Premier League this season.
100 million superstar Núñez was sidelined due to injury, and his replacement Jota failed to help Liverpool with a goal, and Jota's small-angle header hit the post in the 22nd minute and he played 71 minutes and was replaced by Roberto Firmino.
