Liverpool seemed set to move another step closer to breaking the 100-point haul set by Manchester City two years ago. And then Rodriguez struck.

Ashley Westwood’s long free-kick was met by a towering downward header by James Tarkowski and Rodriguez allowed the ball to bounce before thrashing a low drive past Alisson Becker from 18 yards.

When substitute Gudmundsso­n struck the bar with a chance he should have taken, it seemed that there would be a twist in the tale.

But then Pope produced another smart save to keep out Salah’s injury-time effort.

It says everything about the standards Klopp and Liverpool have set this season that their players walked off at the end with heads bowed.

Dyche would have been grinning all the way home.
