    Swansea 2-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool's best moment of the match so far. Sheyi Ojo clips a beautifully weighted ball into the path of Daniel Sturridge, and the Liverpool striker doesn't have to break stride as he clips a first time effort with the outside of his boot. It arcs over Lukasz Fabianski and lands just the wrong side of the post. Great effort.

    Liverpool are crumbling. They give the ball away high up the pitch, Jack Cork picks it up and drives right at the heart of the Liverpool defence, Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren stand off, and Cork bends a delicious effort inside the far post. His first goal for a year.

    Andrew Quinn: Men vs boys at the moment. Would a little bit of momentum going into Thursday not be more important than an extra days rest?

    Rian Hoskins: Swansea have looked much better now Sigurdsson is back to his best but after the Euros, they may not hold onto him. 

    Hashim Vali: As a Liverpool fan. Bad start. What is Sturridge playing at? Doesn't deserve to start by playing like this. Swansea deserve it.

    Swansea 1-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool are under siege here. Jefferson Montero is allowed to run and run and get a shot away, and it's well saved by Danny Ward low down to his right. He's been busy so far.

    As we ticked into the 27th minute, the crowd - both Liverpool and Swansea fans - unleashed a rousing burst of applause to mark the 27 years that the Hillsborough families had to wait for justice.

    And from the free kick, Swansea should be 2-0 up! Jordi Amat is left alone and glances his header over the bar from close range. Should have scored.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 26 mins

    Swansea 1-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool are on the rocks here. Neil Taylor, on the overlap, pulls the ball back to Jack Cork on the edge of the area and his low drive is on target, but Danny Ward saves excellently with his feet.

    Swansea 1-0 Liverpool

    Can Liverpool respond? This largely second-string line-up has looked a little nervy so far. Daniel Sturridge shows some good feet on the edge of the area to open up a shooting chance, but he's then poleaxed by Jordi Amat. Somehow, the referee decides that's not worthy of a free kick.

    "Swansea's goal is something of a collector's item, coming as it did from a corner.

    "Set-pieces have been a blight on the Swans' season, with head coach Francesco Guidolin bemoaning his side's brittle defending from corners and free-kicks.

    "But Andre Ayew's goal has bucked that trend, and Swansea's fans are even chanting 'We've scored from a corner', such is the disbelief among the Liberty Stadium regulars."

    But from the corner, Andre Ayew is left all alone on the edge of the six-yard box to thump a header past Danny Ward. Ayew, whose partner gave birth a few days ago, whips out the obligatory Bebeto-style celebration.

    Great chance for Swansea! They counter at pace, Sigurdsson plays a lovely pass to Wayne Routledge, whose flick-on finds Andre Ayew. Dejan Lovren just gets across to shut the door in time.

    John Dunthorne: Daniel Sturridge avoiding physical challenges again, we all understand why, but he can not be taken to Euro 2016 doing that.

    Some lovely neat interplay on the edge of the box from Swansea and it's only the final pass to Glyfi Sigurdsson that goes astray. Liverpool look a little skittish in defence.

    Swansea are turning up the heat on this makeshift Liverpool defence. The ball breaks fortuitously for Andre Ayew, but he shanks his volley well wide.

    A first sight of goal for Daniel Sturridge as Jordon Ibe clips a cross in from the left. Sturridge twists and meets it on the volley but the ball squirts wide.

    Liverpool are growing into this. Some tenacious tackling in the centre of the park wins possession, and they press forward through Kevin Stewart and Daniel Sturridge, before Brad Smith's attempted headed pass goes astray.

    Plenty of unfamiliar names in this Liverpool XI, among them goalkeeper Danny Ward. His first act is straightforward, scooping up a long ball.

    Not the best start for Pedro Chirivella as he loses the ball in midfield and allows Jefferson Montero to scamper forward. His cross just eludes Andre Ayew.
