That was a gift for Liverpool, the Sunderland defending leaving much to be desired. It will be a tall order for David Moyes’ men now.

Rodwell flagged offside as he flashes a header wide from Larsson’s free kick. He wasn’t that far offside and that was a decent chance. Encouraging opening from Sunderland.

That was a decent effort from Defoe. If Mignolet had spilled that, it may have led to a change for Borini.

SAVE! Can harassed by Borini and Mignolet is forced into a hurried clearance from his back pass. First spell of pressure from Sunderland as Defoe’s fierce shot forces Mignolet into a decent save.
4'
Mane exchanges passes with Lallana but his cross is a poor one and out for a goal kick.
3'
Dangerous early cross from Clyne, eventually hacked away by Borini as Liverpool threaten early on.
