a game of colossal importance and a stadium packed to the RS we can't ask for any more how could it be otherwise when two high level sides go head tohe head and Toe to Toe this is football out of the very top draw here's Liverpool are ling up don't go anywhere all the action [Applause] next6 War welcome to icon anfield I'm guy Mo to bring you commentary along with England Legend Sue Smith and it's a game from the Premier League on the way it's Liverpool and they play brenford yeah cheers guy it's great to be here I think it's important that both teams are focused from the off though and they start quickly but I'd love to see some goals hopefully I've not just cured it working hard to win it back [Music] [Applause] there this is the Liverpool starting lineup Allison is in goal Trent Alexander Arnold starts with Andy Robertson in the fullback positions Luis Diaz plays with Muhammad Salah in the wide positions and the main Striker is Dogo jot this is today's brenford team oh a chance that was promising and he won't want to see that attempt again [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] the pass was red and the ball has changed hands Salah drifting in off the flank Sergio [Applause] regalon Liverpool have it back [Applause] now this is a promising looking attack the effort shut out space to attack here for [Applause] Liverpool has the space to whip it in here and that will be a Liverpool corner [Applause] [Applause] it's been delivered oh off the post well not quite fully away [Applause] here Diaz and possession given away having a look and the keeper makes the save and really we shouldn't have expected anything [Applause] else yo J Diaz have a go here good work to regain possession allowing space and he's finding it [Applause] oh good ball in behind and the flag has gone up well he's got to play the ball quicker for me you can only hold your run for so long [Applause] that's cross the line it'll be a throw [Applause] in Jan in behind can he finish oh he's hit the woodwork can you believe it he's just got to compose himself there guy find the corner it's unlucky but he's going to be disappointed not to score do goj well Liverpool have seen a lot of the ball over the last 15 minutes they're dominating the tempo of the game carved out several opportunities to take the lead they just need to add a little bit of composure when the three on goal and that's not a bad save at [Applause] all and the ball comes in and it's not the best of [Applause] clearances they are sitting a bit deep here you feel need to engage a little higher and unable to retain possession [Applause] [Applause] excellent reading of the game to win the ball Yogo yanel the chance now for a quick transition oh they were getting interested there but not anymore J Graven and the hard work pays off they won the [Applause] ball looks a good [Applause] ball Diaz Diaz chance to go ahead well the Danger's still there [Applause] gravur oh top quality goalkeeping to deny what looked a likely goal well they haven't had too much to cheer for a while but a goal here would be huge [Applause] [Applause] it's put into the middle more defensive work to do [Applause] here allowed to go a long way with this Robertson and that has been flagged for offside well you've got to be more aware of the situation here have another touch give him time to get back into position [Applause] good work to recover possession regulon making good progress here but hasn't managed to fall any sort of save well it's close but the keeper got across quickly maybe just needed a bit more composure in front of goal to finish off the chance [Applause] [Applause] a promising looking attack but it's come to [Applause] nothing Jan pass was read and the ball has changed hands fantastic looking ball [Applause] nuron could get it over now Huns it back crucial defending and the first 45 minutes have come and gone here at anfield [Music] and we're moving once again for the second 45 minutes let's hope it's a little bit more open than the first half was [Applause] Yogo J Andy Robertson graur and there's the whistle it's a penalty [Applause] to make it one- n a failure from the spot a Triumph for the keeper [Applause] it's played in now and just over the bar yeah it's a Well worked corner he makes decent contact just lacking that little bit of accuracy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] pinck oh they looked in there that's nicely cut [Applause] out Salah trying to spark the back further into life here and the assistant raises the flag well he's held on to the ball for far too long there he's got to release that sooner [Applause] [Applause] wataru Endo Alexis mallister onto Salah Alexander Arnold little sloppy on the ball there could be a chance to break here [Applause] it's gone out for a throw and that was made to [Music] happen muhamad Salah he's beaten his marker here now can someone attack this looked like something building there but no longer they could get caught out on the break [Applause] here a turnaround in possession excellent positioning well not the easiest of saves but you'd expect him to probably stop that wataru Endo space to attack here for Liverpool can someone attack this well that's how to clear it [Applause] now it needs a good ball in they'll have a go [Applause] here a good Advantage played by the ref now there could be a chance to [Applause] counter Dominic saos [Applause] Liney yo was well spotted the attack is over [Applause] [Music] [Applause] pushing forward now to make the right choice well not quite fully away here a really good interception to take the [Applause] ball Andy Robertson here's J Dominic saos Salah Diaz they'll be able to get that away the referee points to the spot penalty [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] this to strike first and they have paid the penalty it's been dispatched a take a look at this he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way he's definitely giving the eyes there and it's a simple finish in the end I love that [Applause] [Applause] well underway again is there to be one more twist to the [Music] tail and Burma this is a positive move as they seek that equalizer it had to be but the defending ensured it wasn't good challenge and a throwin will follow [Applause] and able to come away with the [Applause] ball Huns it back but hasn't managed to force any sort of save well it's close but the keeper got across quickly maybe just needed a bit more composure in front of goal to finish off the chance [Applause] not long to go but they could be something happening for them now beautifully weighted ball the game brought to a halt a free kick given for that approaching the final whistle now and the host hold sway that clock can't go fast enough for them it's been a really close game this tight and Cy at times not many opportunities but let's just see how the last few minutes go they'll be hoping for no silly mistakes at the back the defensive job done for [Applause] now able to skip past his man now to deliver a good ball in oh it's a penalty [Applause] to finish it off here scores the penalty efficiently put [Applause] away well we can see it here again and he guesses the right way gets across the goal well but just can't quite get anything on on the ball to keep it out really unlucky [Music] here so it's 2-n as the ball gets rolling [Applause] again oh great work what's next space now to get a crossover as it goes Corner coming it's put into the middle got the corner away there's a chance for them to go [Applause] now so a corner coming up for Liverpool [Applause] go and they go short with the corner cuts inside put into the box and that one is Got Away there is the final whistle plenty of positives for them to take away not least the three-point suit yeah it was fairly comfortable in the end wasn't it thought they control the middle of the park for the most part and going forward there was some real nice incisive play too it was a good result we've seen some good performances today but we haven't seen anybody better than Mo Salah he's shown us all of his talents he was certainly one of the standouts a threat throughout just never stopped running and when the chances came he took them well
