Hopes were high leading up to a key Premier League encounter but we were caught in a whirlwind in the first half at Anfield.
Liverpool had their high press working to perfection, we couldn’t find any rhythm in our play and we found ourselves 2-0 down inside 20 minutes with the lively Sadio Mane scoring twice in two minutes.
It was backs to the wall in that first half-hour - Hugo Lloris denied Mane a hat-trick on a couple of occasions - and although we created a couple of chances before the break it was always going to be an uphill battle after that opening period.
