Liverpool's campaign has not transpired as expected, with the results secured by the Reds somewhat underwhelming so far this season. The club's rocky start to the campaign continued on Saturday afternoon as they were held to a frustrating 3-3 draw by Brighton at Anfield. The Reds fought back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2, but Leandro Trossard struck seven minutes from time to earn his side a point.
However, despite the recent struggles, the Reds’ heaviest defeat happened when Jurgen Klopp had almost a full squad at his disposal and Liverpool were the reigning Premier League champions.
On this day two years ago, Liverpool, according to their boss, created the 'wrong type' of history as they were thrashed by Aston Villa at Villa Park. The Reds lost 7-2 and became the first reigning champions to concede seven goals in a league game since Sunderland beat Arsenal 7-1 in September 1953.
