FT: Liverpool 1 Sunderland 1

Competion :Barclays Premier League

Venue: Anfield

Attendance:45,018

Date: Saturday, 13, August, 2011

Kick-off: 1500 BST

Referee:Dowd

Sebastian Larsson scored a superb volley on his
debut to earn a point for Sunderland at
Liverpool.


The hosts will curse the fact Luis Suarez missed an
early penalty when he was tripped by Kieran
Richardson before sending his spot-kick way over.


But the Uruguayan shrugged off his
disappointment to nod in a 12th-minute opener
from Charlie Adam's cross.


Sunderland rarely threatened in the first half but
Larsson's 57th-minute goal capped a better
defensive display.


Once they had equalised, the Black Cats looked the more likely victors as Liverpool ran out of steam.
