Liverpool needed a late Nordi Mukiele own goal to rescue a 1-1 draw against an impressive Sunderland side, denying the Reds victory in a tense Premier League contest at Anfield.
Chemsdine Talbi’s deflected strike had put the visitors ahead with just over 20 minutes left, punishing a loose pass from Virgil van Dijk.
Arne Slot’s team pushed hard and finally levelled in the 81st minute when Florian Wirtz’s effort, likely drifting wide, bounced off Mukiele and into the net.
Liverpool nearly paid for their late attacking gamble, but Federico Chiesa’s last-ditch block denied Wilson Isidor on the break.
