Liverpool's 3-1 win against Sheffield United on Thursday night gave their title ambition a significant boost.

Popular Nigerian comedy skit maker Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Oga Sabinus, was live at Anfield to watch the English Premier League game between Liverpool and Sheffield United.

Liverpool ran out 3-1 winners against Sheffield United on Thursday night, giving their title ambition a significant boost - pulling clear of Arsenal and Manchester City.

Liverpool secure dramatic victory over spirited Sheffield United

Liverpool's dramatic 3-1 victory over a determined Sheffield United, courtesy of goals from Nunuez, Mac Allister, and Gakpo. The win, while hard-fought, provides a vital boost to their title aspirations.

The Reds took the lead bizarrely as Sheffield United goalkeeper Ivo Grbić inexplicably mishandled the ball, striking it directly into Darwin Núñez.

The ricochet looped into the net, handing Liverpool an early advantage they weren't able to fully capitalize on despite dominating the first-half.

The second half saw a change in script. A deflected shot from Sheffield United's Gustavo Hamer caught Liverpool off guard, finding the back of the net via a deflection of Bradley - sending a jolt through the Anfield crowd.

With the momentum shifting, Liverpool responded with renewed intensity. Their persistence paid off when Alexis Mac Allister unleashed a thunderous strike into the top corner, restoring their lead and sparking renewed belief amongst the home fans.

Liverpool nearly extended their lead with a free-kick that rattled the crossbar, but ultimately, they managed to see out the win. Substitute Cody Gakpo put the result beyond doubt with a well-placed header from an Andy Robertson assist, securing all three points for the Reds.

This hard-fought victory showcases Liverpool's grit and determination. Despite a shaky period in the second half, they managed to regain control and secure a crucial win in their title chase.
