Georginio Wijnaldum scored the only goal of the game as Liverpool made it seven wins out of seven in the Premier League this season.
Match Reports
Liverpool maintained their 100 percent start to the Premier League season as Dean Henderson's howler handed them a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
The Reds have swept all before them so far this season domestically but looked destined to drop their first points of the campaign against Chris Wilder's spirited side.
Blade goalkeeper Henderson gifted them a 16th straight league victory, though, allowing Georginio Wijnaldum's volley to squirm through his grasp with 20 minutes remaining.
The result means Jurgen Klopp's table-topping squad move eight points clear of reigning champions Manchester City, who head to Everton later on Saturday.
Match Events
4' CHANCE! McBurnie's shot saved
First chance of the game and it falls for Sheffield United as Oliver McBurnie chases a long ball down the left channel, cuts inside onto his right foot and fires a decent effort straight down the throat of Adrian.
17' The ball have struck McBurnie's arm in the area, but Liverpool don't appeal
Replays show the ball may have struck McBurnie's arm in the area, but Liverpool don't appeal for what would have been a very harsh decision given the close proximity of the Blades forward.
34' Mane misses a huge chance!
Van Dijk floats a great ball over the top which Mane takes in his stride. He's through on goal, Henderson races off his line but is left in no man's land by Mane's pace, but the Senegal international slices a woeful effort wide with the goal at his mercy.
45' WHAT A CHANCE! Mane's shot saved
Salah leads the charge and finds Firmino and Mane in support, passes are exchanged to present Mane with a brilliant opportunity to open the scoring, but he lashes the ball against the post before Fleck's covering tackle turns the ball behind for a corner.
52' Henderson comes off second best from a collision with Matip
It is Henderson who's hooked - Origi's the one to come on for him. Liverpool will change their shape again. How they will is still to be seen.
70' GOAL! Sheffield United 0-1 Liverpool (Wijnaldum)
Wijnaldum drives a low shot from outside the box towards the center of the goal. It should be a routine save for Dean Henderson, but the keeper somehow spills it and it rolls into the net!

Two things SALAH has been doing pretty well this season are: Salah misses Golden Chance Salah refuses to pass to Sadio Mane

Pitch is too wet, ball need much force. Salah and mane should be more clinical finishes. But they were not. No need to worry, all was about 3 points. Haters may cry whatever. Allez Allez Allez.............
