First time ever that #LFC have trailed, then had a man sent off and still come back to win in that order.

The original post was against Crystal Palace (won 2-1 in March 2016 - Milner sent off for 2 yellows, Benteke pen to win it on 90 mins). #LFC repeat the feat v Newcastle today....

Only 4th time #LFC have missed a pen and received a red card in same game. Previously 15/2/64 Hunt (missed), Yeats (red); 16/4/01 Fowler (missed); Biscan (2 yellows>red); 13/9/17 Firmino (missed); Gomez (2 yellows>red)

In 274 league games under Klopp, #LFC have trailed but still won in 12.4%, the highest of any #LFC manager. Next is Phil Taylor (11.2% from 143 games) and Ronnie Moran (11.1% from 9). No others above 10%. Too often behind but more likely to come good.

Although for comparison, Klopp's #LFC have trailed in 33.9% of league games, with only Paisley and Fagan better at 33.3% each. (Shankly 42.2% and Dalglish 35.0%).

First player to score 2 own goals against #LFC since Malloy in August 1959 and only second time ever. Liverpool lost 2-3 against Cardiff that day after leading 2-1 at half-time....

For #LFC, only Carragher (Sep 99) and Molyneux (Feb 1956) have done so, again both in losing causes.

Since promotion in 1962, the only previous time #LFC have failed to lead in any of their opening 5 away league games was in 2006, a run that eventually ended after 7 games. The longest run at any point in a season is 9 games - 1974-75 and end of 1991-92 into 1992-93 seasons.

First time #LFC have gone into back to back matches within the same season as underdogs since Rodger's last and Klopp's first game in charge. Also highest odds in favour of a #LFC win in a home league game since 2001, except for Chelsea at the end of 2009-10 season.

The fewest number of league games played by #LFC in the month of Sept is 3. Only once previously has the club failed to score a league goal in Sept and twice has the club kept a clean sheet in all league games played in Sept.
Four time previously #LFC conceded 3 or more first half goals in Europe - two lost (1-5 v Ajax 1965, 0-3 v Real 2014) and two drawn (3-3 v Basel 2002, 3-3 v Milan 2005). All Liverpool's goals were scored in second half.

First time #LFC have conceded 2 pens in a single European match and 22nd occurrence in all comps - FA Cup 1x, League Cup 1x and all others league.

8th time #LFC have hit 9 or more goals in a game, only the 4th without the aid of a penalty. Others being Rotherham (Div2 - 10-1) in 1896, Dundalk (Fairs Cup - 10-0) 1969 and Fulham (League Cup - 10-0) 1986 - so first time in the club's top flight history.

Liverpool have had five different goalscorers in the first half of a competitive match for just the second time in the club's entire 130-year history. The first was in a non-league match v Higher Walton in Sep 1892. Díaz Elliott Alexander-Arnold Firmino van Dijk #LFC #LIVBOU

#LFC have scored 4 or more in at least 1 league game every season since 1920-21, easily longest run of any club. (also failed in 1903-04)

7th time #LFC have conceded first goal in 7 consecutive league games, first since 1983-4 (end of 82-3 and start of 83-4). 1967-8 had two runs of 7, the latter stretching to 11 at beginning of 1968-9, the longest such run in club history. 1976-7 and 1983-4 won title both seasons.

Only 5th in last 100 years #LFC failed to win any of opening 3 league games; 2012-13 only season in which failed to win opening 4 since 1911. So far only 7 clubs have not used 5 subs in a game: B'mouth, Brighton, Everton, Fulham, Leicester, Forest and #LFC (due to injuries).

Players sent off for #LFC in their first two league games: Gary McAllister, Joe Cole (debut), Philipp Degen, Doni, Darwin Núñez.

Not surprising not to win after red card - only once has #LFC trailed, had a player sent of and still managed to win - 6 March 2016 v Palace (a), Milner sent off and Benteke with last minute penalty following Firmino equaliser.
