Liverpool secured a vital 3-0 win at home to Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon, providing supporters with a welcome relief.
Liverpool 3-0 Huddersfield
Premier League, Anfield
October 28, 2017
Goals: Sturridge 50′, Firmino 58′, Wijnaldum 75′
After the indignity of their 4-1 loss away to Tottenham the previous weekend, Liverpool needed an uplifting result as they welcomed newly promoted Huddersfield to Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side took their time to shift into gear, and Mohamed Salah‘s first-half penalty miss was a blow, but they ultimately dominated proceedings.
Second-half goals from Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino and Georginio Wijnaldum sealed a much-needed victory, with the Reds’ performance largely encouraging.
Here’s how supporters reacted to Liverpool’s 3-0 win at home to Huddersfield on Twitter, Facebook and our forums.
Klavan came under scrutiny after replacing Lovren…

Salah disappointed from the penalty spot…
Poor penalty from Salah really. Saved by Lossl. Neither down the middle nor to the corner.
— James Nalton (@JDNalton) October 28, 2017
I love Salah but he's as ruthless as marshmallow. Meanwhile James Milner, who rarely ever misses from the spot, watches on. Fucking joke.
— Sachin Nakrani (@SachinNakrani) October 28, 2017
The only thing Milner is good at, and we let Salah take the penalty

This is finishing 0-0. Klopp will make his changes in the 87th min, when it’s a foregone conclusion

Sturridge got the second half off to the perfect start…
Yes Daniel Sturridge! Put the deflected ball by Moreno behind the net and made it look so easy. Great technique there to bend and lob it.

“Congrats Danny!!!!…Good to see you dancing again.

Such a calm finish by Studge. Yes it's fortunate that Huddersfield headed it back into his path but Daniel is often alert to these errors.

And full-time saw relief ring round an elated Anfield…
Crucial win and a really good second-half performance. Klopp clearly gave them a bollocking at half-time.
— Henry Jackson (@HenryJackson87) October 28, 2017
Dire first but redemptive second. Nervy going for a while there, though.
— The Liverpool Offside (@LFCOffside) October 28, 2017
Was an embarrassing first half but thank fuck we won in the end. Second half much better with a little help from Huddersfield!

“Very good win for us, after a stuttering first half. A clean sheet again, without conceding one single clear cut chance to Huddersfield. Satisfying!”

Emphatic win in the end but we need to find that consistency in the league.

“Brilliant second half , Klopp came up with a plan B finally and players executed that which was increasing energy levels and playing long balls in box.”
