On a late Monday evening in the English "Premier" league, the last matches of the 19th round were played.
At "Anfield" stadium, the footballers of "Liverpool" and "Swansea" clashed. Brendan Rodgers' pupils proved the advantage of home turf and celebrated victory with a score of 4-1.
The first goal came in the 33rd minute, when Alberto Moreno defeated the opponents' goalkeeper after a pass from Jordan Henderson. At the beginning of the second half, the "Reds" increased their advantage, this time with a precise shot from Adam Lallana.
However, despite the long lead of two goals, "Liverpool" did not rejoice for long, as Gylfi Sigurdsson returned intrigue in the 52nd minute. But the trouble was solved just nine minutes later by the same A. Lallana, who scored after a pass from Philippe Coutinho.
The final point was scored in the 69th minute, with an own goal by Jonjo Shelvey earning England's vice-champions a goal against their own net. Interestingly, the Englishman is a former player of "Liverpool".
After the victory, the Liverpool city team added three points to their tally and rose to eighth place. From this position, B. Rodgers' pupils pushed out the "Swansea" club.
