Liverpool vs. Hull City: Score and Reaction from 2016 Premier League Match

Liverpool cruised to a 5-1 win over Hull City during Saturday’s Premier League action, continuing their fine attacking form.

The Reds dominated the first half and built a three-goal lead thanks to Adam Lallana, James Milner and Sadio Mane. Ahmed Elmohamady was sent off for a deliberate hand ball, further complicating matters for the Tigers.

David Meyler pulled a goal back early in the second half, but Philippe Coutinho restored the three-goal gap almost immediately. Milner added a second penalty goal to make it 5-1.

As shared by the Reds’ official Twitter account, goalkeeper Loris Karius made the starting XI, while Dejan Lovren missed the match with an illness:

The visitors started the match well, forcing Milner into a crucial early tackle, but Liverpool soon took control of the ball and pushed forward.

Joel Matip failed to hit the target with the Reds’ first real chance of the match, as the defender was left wide open on a Milner corner. Jordan Henderson’s aim also wasn’t perfect, and his strike after another set piece bounced wide.

Coutinho perhaps should have scored after fine interplay between Mane and Lallana isolated him in the box. The Brazilian lost his cool, however, scuffing his shot.

The chances kept coming at a fast pace, and it was Lallana who gave the hosts the lead after 17 minutes after a superb run from Coutinho.

Bleacher Report UK’s Jack Lusby liked what he saw from the Reds:

Lovely goal from Liverpool that. So easy for them so far. Another for Lallana too!
