Liverpool won 1-0 against Swansea City at Anfield on Sunday, and we round-up the best social media reaction from during and after the game.
It was far from the prettiest win you will ever see, but another three points for Jurgen Klopp‘s men saw them rise to sixth in the Premier League.
James Milner‘s penalty proved to be the only goal of the game, and the return from injury of both Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge was a huge positive on the day.
Here’s how social media reacted to the game:
There was certainly plenty of pre-match joy when it was confirmed that Henderson and Sturridge were among the substitutes:

Was surprised to see Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge among those getting off the players coach. Huge lift to have both back on bench

Henderson and Sturridge on on 60 to mess them up .

A fairly disappointing first-half performance saw Liverpool fail to create many chances of note, and supporters and journalists gave their verdicts during the interval:
Anthony Taylor should be given an OBE for services to football when he blows his whistle to end this half.

Not watching the game.
3 shots eh?
Not missing out it seems.— Andrew Beasley (@BassTunedToRed) November 29, 2015
lfc.eddie on the forum:
Way too static… way too slow and ball watching in the final third. The closest we’ve got is actually a clearance from Swansea defender.
Lovren and Can both been good so far, the rest very average. #LFC

#LFC uninspiring but victory all important – as was the return of Sturridge/Henderson. Winnable… https://t.co/BwVTMejIsU

Lacklustre 3 points are still 3 points. Some of the teams above us drew, meaning it was a good weekend.
Liverpool need to improve their performances at home badly. Awful today and lucky to get a result.

Liverpool are 6 points off the top.
Chelsea are 5 points off bottom three.— Artur Petrosyan (@arturpetrosyan) November 29, 2015
Hard-fought, tired and uninspiring victory. But with so many draws this weekend it’s a big win for the Reds. Winning is a nice habit.

Ibe was the MOTM I think – he’s still very unpolished but you can see he is progressing game by game.
Crucial December period. #lfc are 6 points of top spot. Key players returning from injury could push us on.

We've been to the Emirates, Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, The Etihad and White Hart Lane & 4 off the top 4. I'm happy with the progression.
