Salah benched again as Liverpool in freefall, no wins in last 3 games at home

Jamie Carragher called Liverpool’s performance in their 1-1 draw with Sunderland “really, really worrying”. Out-of-sorts Liverpool needed a Nordi Mukiele own goal to rescue a fortunate 1-1 draw at Anfield. The visitors were on course for their first win at Anfield for 42 years before Florian Wirtz struck, thinking he had scored his first Premier League goal to draw his below-par side level, only for the strike to be latterly accredited to Mukiele. Liverpool have failed to win three successive games at Anfield in all competitions for the first time since a run of eight in March 2021. Carragher, who was on co-commentary, said: “The performance was really, really worrying. It feels like a step back. They didn’t look like scoring. They were lacking zip, energy, pace and power. It’s really worrying.”
