Twitter explodes as Liverpool lose against Swansea City

A week after Liverpool handed Manchester City their first Premier League loss of the season, they were shocked by 20th-placed Swansea City as the club from Wales battled to win 1-0 after a match-winning performance by Swansea defender Alfie Mawson.

This was Liverpool's first defeat in 15 Premier League games as a phenomenal run of form ends for them. Twitter reacted to this shocking (not for some!) defeat and here are some of the best tweets we managed to find:
