Liverpool shocked by bottom side Swansea

Xinhua,January 23, 2018 Adjust font size:

LONDON, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- Swansea City shocked Liverpool 1-0 at home to earn valuable three points in their battle for English Premier League survival on Monday.

Alfie Mawson scored the only goal of the game in the 40th minute when he swept home following Sam Clucas' corner.

The Reds stepped up their offence but they failed to turn their numerous chances into goals. Roberto Firmino's header wasted the last opportunity in the stoppage time after hitting a header against the post.

Liverpool's 18-match unbeaten run in all competitions was then snapped. They stay fourth on the league standings, three points behind third-placed Chelsea.

Swansea remain bottom of the table but are tied on 20 points with West Bromwich Albion, moving within three points of safety. Enditem
