It was a frustrating start to 2011-12 for Kenny Dalglish as Sunderland held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield.

The Reds started like a house on fire. Luis Suarez fired a penalty over the bar before getting his head to a Charlie Adam free-kick to give the Reds the lead.

Stewart Downing also hit the bar after a sensational run and strike as Dalglish's side dominated.

However, a failure to finish the game off saw Sebastian Larsson equalise with a superb finish.
