LIVERPOOL: Relegation-threatened Sunderland came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

Liverpool looked set for victory after Roberto Firmino scored one and created another before two goals inside the closing 10 minutes secured a point for the visitors.

James Milner crossed for Firmino to head past Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone in the 59th before the Brazilian international set up Adam Lallana for the second in the 70th.

Substitute Adam Johnson netted from a free-kick in the 82nd, and with just two minutes remaining striker Jermain Defoe turned on the edge of the area before firing past Simon Mignolet.
