    Suddenly Swansea are struggling to get out. It's wave after wave of Liverpool pressure, ending with Neil Taylor intercepting a one-two from Daniel Sturridge to Nathaniel Clyne. In doing so, he catches Lukasz Fabianski in the face and the Swansea keeper needs treatment here.

    Liverpool are just beginning to come to life, but they are struggling to carve out any clear opportunities. Could Adam Lallana be the man to change that? He's warming up...

    Swansea 2-0 Liverpool

    Goodness me, that's as close as Liverpool have come and it's not even one of their players. Lucas curls a cross in and Swansea left-back Neil Taylor sidefoots it out for a corner, inches away from his own net. Dicy.

    "There's a quiet air of contentment around the Liberty Stadium - save for the agitated away fans - with Swansea in total control against Liverpool.

    "The Swans were dreadful in their previous two defeats at Leicester and Newcastle but this impressive performance is at least some form of redemption.

    "For Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp's animated fury on the touchline is an indication of how badly things have gone for the visitors so far today."

    Sheyi Ojo wins a corner off Angel Rangel, but it comes to nothing and Liverpool are forced to go all the way to keeper Danny Ward. Not happening for the Reds at the moment.

    Dejan Lovren has gone through the back of Andre Ayew. The Ghanaian crumples to the ground with a shriek. Liverpool are allowed to play on, but Jurgen Klopp tells them to put the ball out so Ayew can get treatment. Great sportsmanship.

    Here we go again. Swansea haven't scored three in a Premier League game this season. They won't get a better chance...

    Christian Benteke and Lucas are coming on to try and steady the ship for Liverpool. Off go Philippe Coutinho and Pedro Chirivella.

  11. Foregone conclusion?published at 12:59 British Summer Time 1 May 2016

    Swansea 2-0 Liverpool

    Bad news, Liverpool fans. The Reds have lost their 11 Premier League games in which they've been at least two goals down at half time, last beating Manchester City in October 2008.

    Meanwhile, Swansea have never lost a Premier League game in which they've led by two goals.

    Swansea were right on top of the first half and this graphic shows it. The hosts had just three players record an average position fully inside their own half (left), while Liverpool (right) were largely pinned back.

    Rohit: So easy for Swansea. Liverpool are in amateur mode today.

    Daniel Kelly: Well we won't see this starting 11 playing together again.

    Dennis: A very spirited performance from #Swansea # this experimental #LFC team needs help! Excellent 2nd goal 

    Kartik Venkat: @LFC have been awful, uninspiring and very poor. Chirivella seems intimidated by the occasion. #bbcfootball

    "You can't win anything with kids," a wise man once said. Perhaps Jurgen Klopp should have heeded that advice - his young Liverpool team have been dreadful and deservedly trail Swansea at the break.

    Philippe Coutinho has been quiet so far. He unleashes a rasping drive that flicks off Ashley Williams and behind for a corner. The set piece comes to nothing.
