\n

FROM ANFIELD \u2013 Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought 3-1 win over Sheffield United.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds looked to be in for a straightforward evening when Darwin Nunez forced the ball home in chasing down goalkeeper Ivo Grbic\u2019s clearance in the first half.<\/p>\n

But, after Conor Bradley put through his own net just before the hour mark, a stunning finish from Alexis Mac Allister late in the game was required to get the hosts back in front late on.<\/p>\n

And the points were wrapped up at the death when Cody Gakpo headed home a sumptuous Andy Robertson cross.<\/p>\n

Here were the best and worst players for\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0on the night.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s best player vs Sheffield United<\/h2>\n

Alexis Mac Allister<\/h3>\n

Mac Allister was the star \/ Robbie Jay Barratt \u2013 AMA\/GettyImages<\/p>\n

Not quite as influential as usual, but adapted to the holding role brilliantly again and scored a stunning winner.<\/p>\n

At 1-1, Chris Wilder\u2019s side continued to create danger, with only the final pass eluding them during a number of promising breaks following the equaliser.<\/p>\n

But Liverpool have made a habit of pulling rabbits out of hats during this title charge, and repeated the trick again to get their noses in front with the clock ticking down.<\/p>\n

If there was an element of luck in the way the ball fell to Mac Allister, there was nothing fortunate about the finish he hammered into the top corner. It was a goal that seemed to break Sheffield United\u2019s spirit.<\/p>\n

\n

Honourable mention<\/h3>\n

Darwin Nunez<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

What is he like, that Nunez? \/ Robbie Jay Barratt \u2013 AMA\/GettyImages<\/p>\n

Not everything came off for him but he grabbed a goal through a grit and determination that summed up his efforts.<\/p>\n

Grbic had made a fine start to the match with a save to deny Mohamed Salah. Unfortunately for the Sheffield United goalkeeper, his next contribution was a disastrous one: a kick straight into an onrushing Nunez that bounced back towards his net and in.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s worst player vs Sheffield United<\/h2>\n

There were the occasional flashes of brilliance involving typically quick feet but did not do enough to stamp his mark on the game.<\/p>\n

Made his first start since returning from an ankle injury and was replaced by Robertson on the hour mark after Sheffield United had equalised.<\/p>\n

\n

Dishonourable mention<\/h3>\n

Conor Bradley<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Bradley was unfortunate to concede the own goal \/ Chris Brunskill\/Fantasista\/GettyImages<\/p>\n

Wasn\u2019t quite as influential in an attacking sense as he usually is but kept making the runs.<\/p>\n

Sheffield United finding it easy to marshal Liverpool\u2019s threat while providing enough of their own at the start of the second half.<\/p>\n

And that told when the Blades grabbed a deserved equaliser when Gustavo Hamer\u2019s back-post header forced Bradley to put through his own goal.<\/p>\n
