The Reds were beaten in our maiden outing of the 2025/26 Premier League season, but could easily have come away with another result, with positives to take from our display, including plenty of chance-creation and sparks of encouragement from summer signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo on their full debuts for the club.
Riccardo Calafiori's header within the opening quarter of an hour of the first half was enough to win it for the away side despite the pressure we applied for much of the game thereafter, with David Raya pulling off a number of saves in both halves, and Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu perhaps going closest when he struck a post in the first half.
