Liverpool crumbled to a different surprising defeat as they have been sensationally crushed 4-1 by PSV at Anfield.
A trio of second-half targets – two of them scored by Couhaib Driouech – left Arne Slot’s out-of-form aspect surprised as they capitulated to yet one more three-goal defeat.
Coming off the again of consecutive 3-0 defeats, the consequence will amplify the noise surrounding Slot’s Liverpool. They’re within the backside half of the Premier League desk and now have work to do in Europe. Their astonishing slide reveals no indicators of stopping.
There was an alarming begin, a seventh aim conceded with out reply, when Ivan Perisic scored from the penalty spot. Virgil van Dijk’s vocal complaints about that early handball name going in opposition to him appeared unwarranted given the positioning of his arm.
Dominik Szoboszlai, enjoying in midfield with Curtis Jones at right-back, did slot in a quickfire equaliser after Cody Gakpo’s shot was parried into his path and Van Dijk got here shut to creating amends with a header in opposition to the crossbar as Liverpool regrouped.
However Slot’s aspect have been undone by their very own defensive errors within the second half, the Eredivisie leaders punishing them in type. Guus Til nipped in forward of Milos Kerkez to revive PSV’s lead and Ibrahima Konate’s error allowed them to double the benefit.
Driouech put the ball into the web after Ricardo Pepi’s effort got here again off the submit and he then added a second to make it 4 in all as supporters streamed out. The defeat makes it 9 in 12 matches now, their worst run in over 70 years. Liverpool are in disarray.
