Liverpool's bid to win the Premier League title suffered a blow when they were held 2-2 by relegation-threatened Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Monday.
Jermain Defoe scored twice from the penalty spot to cancel out Liverpool goals from Daniel Sturridge and Sadio Mane. The latter had put the Reds in front in the second half, but he was the villain when he handled a free-kick from Sebastian Larsson to gift Defoe another chance from 12 yards.
Two drop points mean Liverpool missed the chance to halve the gap to leaders Chelsea. The Blues still lead Liverpool by five points ahead of Wednesday's game against Tottenham Hotspur.
