This evening&#8217;s showdown, which was always going to end with someone&#8217;s 100% record falling by the wayside, couldn&#8217;t have been a more contrasting affair.<\/p>\n<p>The pre-match conversation was dominated by talks of how Liverpool would fare without talismanic figure Mohamed Salah as well as flying right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, but they are now made of sterner stuff, and these battle-hardened individuals under Klopp&#8217;s leadership were hellbent on ensuring it wasn&#8217;t going to be them dropping points as history beckoned.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Liverpool have set a new club record of 64 consecutive top-flight league games unbeaten at Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>?????-????. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CQeM0CY2l5\">pic.twitter.com\/CQeM0CY2l5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1330618981569400839?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 22, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>By avoiding defeat they&#8217;ve now gone 64 matches at Anfield without taking an &#8216;L&#8217;, which is the second-longest unbeaten home run in English top-flight history behind Chelsea, who notched 84 games between March 2004 and October 2008.<\/p>\n<p>A changed back-four that featured Joel Matip and Fabinho in central defence plus the multifunctional, James Milner deputising for Alexander-Arnold, will have given their visitors impetuous designs, but such is Klopp&#8217;s panache for organisation and structure they seldom got behind to pose Alisson uncomfortable questions.<\/p>\n<p>Matip, who returned to Liverpool&#8217;s starting lineup just before the international break, was untouchable in the air in winning no fewer than five aerial duels, three fewer than his teammates combined. Milner provided the Reds a solid outpost on the flank, where his passing was exemplary, and the cross he put in from a 21st minute corner led to the deadlock broken when Jonny Evans inadvertently headed past a rooted Kasper Schmeichel.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;d repeat the same trick minutes from time but on this occasion Roberto Firmino, desperate for a goal, was on the receiving end, much to his manager&#8217;s delight. The Brazilian&#8217;s struggles in front of goal at Anfield were well-documented, but he&#8217;s now scored twice across Liverpool&#8217;s last three home matches. No doubt this evening will boost his confidence heading into the winter months.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1177378\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1480\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1.jpg 1480w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-1024x708.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-768x531.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-66x46.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-80x55.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-180x125.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-347x240.jpg 347w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-867x600.jpg 867w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-370x256.jpg 370w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/22205704\/1177375_1177375_PA-56750175-1-240x166.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1480px) 100vw, 1480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Back to Evans; it was a painful moment for the ex-Manchester United defender, who has now unfortunately produced six own goals in Premier League history; to put that in some perspective, only Richard Dunne (10), Jamie Carragher (7) and Martin Skrtel (7) sit ahead of him in that unwanted table.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson, buoyed after helping Scotland end a 23-year absence from a major international tournament, wasn&#8217;t going to be outshone by Milner though and Diogo Jota was grateful for the precsie ball that he converted just before the break. It was a record-breaking strike for the Portuguese forward, who initially joined Liverpool from Wolves as a squad player.<\/p>\n<p>The former Atl\u00e9tico Madrid man had started in three of Liverpool&#8217;s previous seven Premier League matches, completing the full 90 minutes twice, going into matchday nine. Interestingly, he failed to net in both of those games he played every second, although neither were at home. And that&#8217;s significant here, because all of his three league goals, against different opponents, in a Reds jersey have all come on Anfield&#8217;s hallowed turf. This left Jota on the cusp of a special milestone, and by scoring this evening he becomes the first player in Liverpool&#8217;s illustrious history to score in each of his opening four top-flight home matches.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">30 &#8211; Diogo Jota&#39;s goal for Liverpool came after a sequence of 30 passes; since Opta have this data available from 2006-07, this is the most in the build-up to any <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/premierleague?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@premierleague<\/a> goal by the Reds.

That is a positive sign for Klopp in his quest to secure back-to-back championships, as there is always that lingering doubt over the club&#8217;s back-up players and whether any disruption to Liverpool&#8217;s strongest eleven could be their undoing. Jota, stationed on the right wing, never looked out of place as he made those scything runs behind we often see Salah make on numerous occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Sadio Mane, the only member of Liverpool&#8217;s front three not to score, was still his busy self and on another day would have registered. His performance didn&#8217;t go unnoticed, with Sky Sports pundit Patrice Evra waxing lyrical over the Senegalese international. &#8220;Like I say: No Man\u00e9, No Party. He can destroy any player,&#8221; he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SquawkaNews\/status\/1330624339385999361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> after the game.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s main man could feature against Brighton &amp; Hove Albion at The Amex, which should be a welcome sight in what is shaping up to be a fascinating Premier League season. After the first quarter round of games, the champions&#8217; biggest rivals seem to be the team led by that old foe, Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham and the Reds are locked on 20 points, with Chelsea a further two behind, but it&#8217;s Spurs that lead the way courtesy of their superior goal-difference. Going to battle is nothing new concerning both, as they fought over the European Cup two seasons ago. Maybe that&#8217;ll be the deciding factor, Klopp and company know how to get it done, whereas Mourinho&#8217;s team feel like a side on the rise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/888-sports-cl-main\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1177443 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"499\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday.png 499w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-222x300.png 222w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-48x65.png 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-80x108.png 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-180x243.png 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-178x240.png 178w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-445x600.png 445w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-200x270.png 200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/11\/23145743\/1177442_1177442_ucl-tuesday-240x324.png 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/888-sports-cl-main\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to claim 888Sport&#8217;s new customer offer \u2022 18+ only \u2022 \u00a310 deposit using promo code \u2022 Minimum stake \u00a310 at odds of 1\/2 (1.5) \u2022 Free bets credited upon qualifying bet settlement and expire after 7 days \u2022 Free bet stakes not included in returns \u2022 Deposit balance is available for withdrawal at any time \u2022 Withdrawal restrictions &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.888sport.com\/spt\/terms\/betgetcl40-tuesday.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full T&amp;Cs apply<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambleaware.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GambleAware<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool maintained their perfect start at home in the Premier League with a comfortable 3-0 win over Leicester City.
