Liverpool held by Sunderland in Anfield draw


After both teams had struck the woodwork – the visitors doing so on two occasions – it was the away side who opened the scoring on 67 minutes when Chemsdine Talbi’s shot from distance took a deflection off Virgil van Dijk.

However, Florian Wirtz’s deflected effort levelled late on when he created space inside the area and struck left-footed against Nordi Mukiele.
