Marcos Llorente pulled a goal back for the visitors in first-half stoppage time.

And he struck again in the 81st minute to level the match and bag his SECOND career brace at Anfield.

But a 92nd-minute header from Virgil van Dijk stole the three points and handed the Merseysiders their fourth straight win of the season.
