Liverpool back to winning ways at Sheffield United after four-match losing streak as Curtis Jones strike and Kean Bryan own goal move champions a point behind Chelsea in race for top four spots

Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Curtis Jones and a Kean Bryan own goal ended the Reds' run of four successive league defeats and heaped more misery on the bottom-placed Blades.

Bryan's own goal, which was originally credited to Roberto Firmino, was Liverpool's 7,000th goal in top-flight football and secured a win which moves Jurgen Klopp's champions within two points of fourth-placed West Ham.
