Mohamed Salah and Liverpool experienced a frustrating night in Wales

He said: "I am more frustrated about the performance than the result". With van Dijk in the team defensive lapses were supposed to be a thing of the past, but it remains an issue in this Liverpool side that they must eradicate if they are to challenge for the title in the coming seasons.

Liverpool became the first team to defeat Pep Guardiola's side in the Premier League this season with a 4-3 victory at Anfield on January 14, but they were brought back down to earth by Swansea on Monday. Scored the all-important winning goal, but defended superbly throughout. Subs: Adam Lallana (on for Oxlade Chamberlain, 68) 5, Danny Ings (on for Wijnaldum, 73) 6.

Van Dijk went close with a header before turning creator with a chipped pass in behind for Salah, who lashed a left-footed volley high and off target as it dropped over his shoulder.
