Liverpool hadn’t conceded until today. We pressed them well and dominated large spells of the game. We struggled in the final third but this is the best Liverpool side in my lifetime (I’m 34). I just don’t get the constant negativity from #lcfc fans.

If the Lord has told me my Liverpool will get 4 wins out of 4 games without them being at their best and concede one embarrassing goal, then I will forever praise the Lord. Make una wait make this engine start. Na una dey rush us. #YNWA #alisson

• Mane opened the scoring with his fourth goal  in the same number of diversions with a speedy left-footed flick on a through ball from Andy Robertson, and Firmino multiplied the lead just before half-time from a header following a corner by James Milner.

Once again, the over confidence of Allison and sloppy play of Virgil caused Liverpool a clean sheet.The keeper is good but that sort of play was needless.I’m certain Mignolet would be fuming and saying to himself that “I didn’t even fumbled that much before I was benched”#LEILIV

— Jonathan Kolawole (@sleekjoe) September 1, 2018

Davies 5️⃣ , one good performance followed by a shocker today! Can’t pass forward and people run past him for fun when he tries to tackle.
Next game should be Southampton in the Cup!

— The People’s Club (@ThePeoplesClub_) 1 September 2018

• Hojbjerg, who was sent off in the thrashing by Leicester a weekend ago, scored the 2nd goal at the break in stoppage time after the guests needed to splash up deliberate weight in the closing moments.

The one who in half a season, kept clean sheets against Chelsea and United on his debut, saved two pens one being a double save. And ofcourse kept a clean sheet against Southampton last season but that one was easy

• At the opposite end, the splendid Alex McCarthy – called up to the England squad this week – denied Palace striker Christian Benteke from short proximity after a prior spare from Luka Milivojevic.

We have to start Meyer and Kouyate. Look so thin in midfield. Southampton were awful, says everything about us. The GK has had a blinder against us to be fair. #CPFC #Palace ???

• The Terriers edged into the lead as Philip Billing gestured in from a set-piece for his maiden Premier League goal.

Lack of a central midfielder able to dictate play tells in these games. Everton had 58% possession but too much went nowhere or backwards and the goal was our only shot on target. Silva needs injuries to clear as lack of options led to some curious changes. First real off day.

— Luke O’Farrell (@lukeofarrell) 1 September 2018

• Be that as it may, under 90 seconds after the goal, Dominic Calvert-Lewin got on the finish of Lucas Digne’s center to net with his very own header – shockingly for the football fans, the last goal of the match as neither one of the sides could drive a decisive goal in a challenge high on industry yet low in quality.
• The fact of the matter was seemingly a superior one for Huddersfield, who, supported by the solid base of a five-man defence, had few inconveniences inside the primary thirty minutes and, following a concise time of weight of their own, edged ahead in the 34th moment.

There next three games are Everton, Chelsea, and Man U. If they’re not careful they could be on zero points for a while longer

• Chris Lowe’s corner was accidentally flicked on at the close post by Calvert-Lewin and Billing was allowed to head home from six yards.
• However, the lead was quickly offset as Digne’s cross from the left was guided into the base right corner by Calvert-Lewin, who made amends for his heartbreaking part in the opener.
• Steve Mounie stung the palms of Jordan Pickford from the get-go in the second time frame however that was an uncommon snapshot of goalmouth activity as the amusement slid into a progression of niggly fouls.

Feels like today’s match was one @Everton should have won, no? Certainly happy to be undefeated 4 matches in, but a victory at Goodison today over a lower-table club was expected.

— Rich Grisham (@RichGrisham) 1 September 2018

• That seemed to suit Huddersfield, who had two close saves as substitute Ademola Lookman’s perilous ball over the face of the goal just dodged Gylfi Sigurdsson and Calvert-Lewin headed Leighton Baines’ corner over late on.

• But, Brighton’s late charge kept up an unbeaten home class record that presently extends back to January.
• In truth, they more than justified their point, with Murray and Solly March spurning a few decent open doors for Chris Hughton’s side.
• Fulham, however, could have grabbed triumph in the end arranges with substitute Ryan Sessegnon unfit to change over after a run in the penalty zone.

@MDembele_10 big man. Appreciate you went for the big bucks but don’t stick the knife in. @CelticFC gave you an opportunity, better than Fulham ever could. Be thankful and move on. Don’t be a fanny about it. You were idolised, be thankful. Good luck in Lyon. Hope Youre happy
