Before kick off one of my colleagues predicted that Liverpool could "get double figures against Swansea today". I won't for one minute criticise him because considering the way both sides are capable of playing it wasn't past the realms of possibility.
Instead we were treated to quite the classic at Anfield, something that doesn't happen in the Saturday early kick off all too often, as Swansea went 2-0 up before Jurgen Klopp's side hit back only to lose the match.
After quite a boring first half where Swansea seemed quite happy to sit back and soak up the pressure, even if they did hit the post themselves, Fernando Llorente opened up the scoring after just three minutes of the second half.
Just minutes later the former Athletic Bilbao striker had put the Swans 2-0 up with Anfield falling under a cloud of near silence but for the travelling Welsh fans. Roberto Firmino scored twice to get Liverpool back in the game, including an absolute screamer.
