Much has been made of Sunderland's home record this season - and rightly so.
They went into their 1-0 loss to Liverpool with seven wins and five draws at the Stadium of Light in the top flight.
Liverpool's quality meant they were always going to have more of the ball but Regis le Bris' side were well-structured and initially made it difficult for the visitors to break through.
However, the gaps did open up as the game went on and Sunderland were perhaps fortunate Arne Slot's side were not more clinical.
Sunderland boss Le Bris made one change from their defeat at Arsenal with Nilson Angulo coming in for Chemsdine Talbi down the left.
Perhaps that was a change made with Liverpool's right-back crisis in mind - but Angulo rarely asked questions of Wataru Endo.
In possession, Sunderland missed the calming influence of Granit Xhaka, who has an ankle injury and watched on from the stands.
Ultimately, the hosts did not do enough going forward - with Alisson rarely threatened on his 250th Premier League appearance for Liverpool - but can take plenty of pride from a memorable home run.
