Seasons greetings from Anfield

Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland

Red charges rouse Anfield
For the campaigns curtain raiser
After sending the spot kick into orbit
Suarez scores the seasons opener

Adam and Enrique assured
Downing ran and smashed the bar
Black Cats rattled Henderson’s Reds
Seb Larsson with a total screamer

Beginning with such momentum
Red men began to disjoint
Forced to go long to Carroll
then settling for a solitary point
