FULL-TIME UPDATE
Swansea (Fer 8') 1 - 2 (55' Firmino, 84' Milner) Liverpool: The match ended with a flurry of Swanse attacks, but Liverpool managed to thwart each of those moves, and they returned deserved winners.
Two results so far from gameweek 7. Everton hold Crystal Palace 1-1 at home early morning today, and now Liverpool beat Swansea 2-1.
Four matches today.
SECOND-HALF
Swansea (Fer 8') 1 - 2 (55' Firmino, 84' Milner) Liverpool: PENALTY! Reds persistence paid off with Roberto Firmino earning a penalty, thanks to a foul inside the box from Angel Rangel.
And James Milner slotted from the spot. His third penalty goal this season.
20 - No Liverpool player has been involved in more PL goals than Roberto Firmino since the start of last season (13 goals, 7 assists). Busy. — OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) October 1, 2016
Swansea (Fer 8') 1 - 1 (55' Firmino) Liverpool: GOAL! A lucky one for Liverpool. From some 25 yards, a free-kick from Philippe Coutinho hit the wall, deflecting towards Jordan Henderson, who had a go at the goal. But it was Roberto Firmino, who headed home the goal.
Swansea (Fer 8') 1 - 0 Liverpool: It's still Liverpool which is dominating the proceedings at Liberty Stadium, but the home side will be happy to just hang on there, after taking that that early lead.
Will Klopp's men find a way back?
