Match report: Jota header seals comeback win over Sheff Utd

Liverpool came from a goal down to defeat Sheffield United 2-1 and return to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday night.

Sander Berge’s penalty kick put the Blades into a 13th-minute lead at Anfield but the Reds restored parity shortly before the interval through Roberto Firmino’s first strike of 2020-21.

And after Mohamed Salah’s outstanding strike was chalked off due to offside, Diogo Jota provided the decisive moment with a clinical header at the Kop end.

The result moved Jürgen Klopp’s side up to 13 points from their opening half-a-dozen matches in the top flight and backed up their victorious start to the Champions League campaign in midweek.
