00:02A chaotic finale and moment of persistence from Alexis McAllister ensured Liverpool left the
00:07city ground with a vital three points as the midfielder struck deep into stoppage time to
00:13seal a dramatic 1-0 victory. For long stretches it looked like it would be a frustrating afternoon
00:19for Arnie Schlott and his side. Liverpool were far from their best and struggled to impose
00:24themselves, particularly in the first half where rhythm and creativity were hard to find.
00:30The late pre-match blow of losing Florian Wurtz in the warm-up disrupted plans and forced the
00:35reshuffle, leaving Liverpool searching for fluency. Then came the frantic closing moments that define
00:42the match. McAllister had already seen one effort ruled out after a VAR check, but Liverpool kept
00:48pushing. When Virgil van Dijk forced a save with a header, the Argentine midfielder reacted quickest,
00:54bundling the rebound home in front of a jubilant travelling supporters.
01:00There was still a nervous wait as the goal was checked, but this time it stood, sparking
01:04celebrations among players and fans alike. The late strike continued Liverpool's recent
01:08run of dramatic finishes and highlighted their refusal to give up, even on difficult days.
01:15It may not have been a polished performance, but victories like this often shape seasons.
01:20For Liverpool, grinding out results when things are not flowing could prove just as important
01:25as the performances themselves.
