Entering the second half, Sheff United tried to get up. It's just that the attack built by the duo Cameron Archer and James McAtee was easily broken by Liverpool's defense.

Apart from that, the weak final finishing meant that goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who replaced Alisson Becker, had no difficulties.

Forward Darwin Nunez also had a good chance to increase Liverpool's lead in the 77th minute.

Receiving feedback from Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Uruguay national team player just had to finish it. But again Foderingham made a brilliant save.
