Sheffield United vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Dominik Szoboszlai scores late goal

SUPER SAVE! Salah is denied by Foderingham! The goalkeeper reaches up and gets a strong hand to the Liverpool winger's powerful volley, tipping the ball over his crossbar! That keeps his team in it!

Gakpo and Salah work a few feet of space on the right, before the latter feeds Alexander-Arnold's overlapping run with a throughball. A deflection then carries the ball into the side-netting for another Liverpool corner.

While United have picked up just one point from seven games after trailing at the break this season, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 129 Premier League matches when leading at half-time - a streak dating back to December 2016.

Mac Allister is brought down again - this time by Bogle's ill-timed tackle - and once more he stays on the turf. Eventually, it is decided that the medics won't be required, and the referee gestures to his watch as if to assure Sheffield United this time will be added on at the end of the game.

Brooks dances inside from the left, then whips in a dangerous low ball for Osula in the area. Van Dijk is alert, though, and guides it away for a corner, which ultimately comes to nothing.

The home side kick off, and we are back under way at Bramall Lane!

Continuing his purple patch by setting up Liverpool's opener today, Alexander-Arnold now has 75 assists in all competitions for the Merseyside club; since his debut in October 2016, only Kevin De Bruyne (129) and Mohamed Salah (80) have racked up more for Premier League teams. With absences reducing Klopp's options at the moment, the England star is increasingly influential - he has also created more chances (three) than any other player in this game.

Although short of both rhythm and fluency, Liverpool still lead at Bramall Lane, as their total dominance of the ball finally paid when captain Van Dijk turned the ball home from close range following an Alexander-Arnold corner. Chris Wilder's homecoming started brightly enough from a Sheffield United point of view, with McAtee testing Kelleher early on, but the Blades have rarely threatened since and may need to have a rethink during the break. Can the hosts eke out more possession during the second half, or can a set-piece get them back into the game?
