Liverpool were cruising at 2-0 up, only to let in a 12th set-piece goal of the season in the Premier League – no team has conceded more. “But then, I think I said two, three or four weeks ago, we have to make sure that when things go against us – [it] could be a set-piece, could be other things – we still need to find a way to win the game.

“In the last two games we conceded a set-piece, but we were able to win and that hasn’t happened that many times this season. Although, we had a great set-piece – the first one after half-time.

“I think we have been unlucky in multiple situations in our set-pieces; it is 18 games now and we need to improve.” Liverpool conceded 26 goals this league season with 12 from set-pieces, that’s 46%.
