A match full of emotions was played on matchday 14 of the Premier League, with Sunderland visiting Liverpool at Anfield, in a game that left intense feelings for both teams, finishing 1-1.
A match that was dominated by possession by the team of Arne Slot, but not in terms of danger created, since with little possession, Black Cats managed to score the first goal of the match in the 67th minute, as Chemsdine Talbi would score after an assist from Enzo Le Fee. But the joy did not last long, as in the 81st minute the own goal by Nordi Mukiele arrived to set the final equalizer.
For no one is it a mystery that the work of Regis Le Bris at the head of Sunderland has been key to keeping the team among the best in the championship. The French coach has managed to consolidate a competitive squad, also backed by an important investment made at the start of the season, which today is reflected in results and performance against the best teams in England.
