Liverpool have struggled to defend against opposition set-pieces throughout the campaign and have consequently conceded plenty of goals during crucial moments of the season.

Klopp's expensive acquisition of Virgil van Dijk back in January was a bold move, but one that they hoped would end their woes and the Dutch centre-back has been successful to some extent.

However, it takes time to cure something completely and we've seen that in Liverpool's 2-2 draw here. They certainly struggled to deal with long balls stemming from dead-ball situations and both goals were from set-pieces.

Liverpool are playing some impressive attacking football this season, however, need to improve the defensive side of their game if they are to challenge for the Premier League properly in future seasons.
