Adam Lallana was back in the starting lineup of Liverpool after many days. The Reds were the dominant side in the field from the very first minute of the match. But Huddersfield Town were also going for counter attacks. Mohamed Salah’s right footed strike at the 24th minute of the match has given the lead to Liverpool. It was a perfect pass provided by Xherdan Shaqiri and Mohamed Salah did not commit any mistake to guide it towards the Goal.

In the second half, Huddersfield Town tried hard to get back in the match. Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana were subbed off due to injury problems. Steve Mounie and Isaac Mbenza also came in for Huddersfield Town to provide some attacking threats. Steve Mounie missed a golden opportunity to make the scoreline level for the home side in the dying minutes of the match. Liverpool were able to keep the one goal lead in tests match despite the pressure of Huddersfield Town in the last few minutes of the match. David Wagner can be happy with the performance of his side against Liverpool but their side is already in the relegation zone with only 3 points from 9 matches so far in this season.
