With eight games to play, the Reds now needed five more points to secure their first Premier League title. They avoided losing four consecutive away games in all competitions for the first time since April 2012. The Reds had now failed to win two of their last three games in the Premier League (won one); as many as in their previous 38 games in the division (won 36).
