Liverpool return to winning ways

Defending champions Liverpool returned to winning ways in the English Premier League with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over struggling Sheffield United at Anfield.

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho conceded a 13th-minute penalty for a foul on Oliver McBurnie on the very edge of the box, allowing Sander Berge to slot in following a video assistant referee review.

Despite Liverpool facing spirited opposition, Roberto Firmino converted from Sadio Mane's saved shot four minutes before half-time and Diogo Jota's header completed the turnaround midway through the second half.

After two league games without victory, including their astonishing 7-2 defeat by Aston Villa, Jurgen Klopp's side moved joint top of the table alongside Merseyside rivals Everton, who face Southampton tomorrow.
