Liverpool dominates, settles for draw with Sunderland (The Associated Press)

Sunderland and Liverpool played out a highly entertaining 2-2 draw Monday, however the visitors will be highly frustrated by their inability to turn their dominance into a win. The sides started fairly evenly, but it was Liverpool who slowly began to take control, and scored the opener when Daniel Sturridge nodded home from a Dejan Lovren flick following a corner, despite standing in a questionable position. Sunderland refused to lay down and equalised when Didier N'Dong went down in the box under a challenge from Georginio Wijnaldum and Ragnar Klavan, allowing Jermain Defoe to score from the spot.
