After both teams had struck the woodwork – the visitors doing so on two occasions – it was the away side who opened the scoring on 67 minutes when Chemsdine Talbi’s shot from distance took a deflection off Virgil van Dijk.
However, Florian Wirtz’s deflected effort levelled late on when he created space inside the area and struck left-footed against Nordi Mukiele.
Team
Arne Slot elected to make just one change to the starting line-up from the weekend victory at West Ham United, with Andy Robertson coming in for Milos Kerkez.
First half
On a cold night at Anfield, a Dominik Szoboszlai drive from distance early on warmed the palms of Robin Roefs, but Sunderland started brightly at Anfield.
Nevertheless, Alisson Becker remained largely untroubled in the early exchanges – and on 23 minutes, Liverpool went agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock.
Wirtz got the bounce of the ball on the edge of the box, allowing him to bound his way into a one-on-one with Roefs. The No.7 nudged the ball towards goal, but the visiting ‘keeper got a boot to it to deflect it against the attacker and into the side netting.
By this point, the Reds’ threat was growing, though Omar Alderete did force Alisson into two routine saves.
Then, with 32 minutes elapsed, Trai Hume’s well-struck effort from 20 yards was required to be touched onto the crossbar by the hosts’ No.1.
At the other end, as half-time loomed, Szoboszlai’s shift-and-strike from the left needed to be punched over the bar by Roefs.
The subsequent corner saw Sunderland half-clear the ball, but Liverpool recycled it back into the box via Joe Gomez and a downward header towards the bottom corner by Alexis Mac Allister struck the outside of the post.
Second half
Mohamed Salah was introduced into the action during the break, replacing Cody Gakpo – and Liverpool started with intent.
Salah and Wirtz both had attempts into crowded boxes blocked by blue shirts, with Roefs not truly tested in the early exchanges.
Then, just after the hour, a near-post header from Alderete crashed against the outside of the post and behind as Sunderland demonstrated their threat once more.
And with 67 minutes on the clock, it was The Black Cats who opened the scoring. Talbi collected possession around 20 yards out and took aim, with the effort beating Alisson via the aid of a deflection off Van Dijk.
However, Liverpool levelled with eight minutes of normal time remaining.
It was a goal that owed much to the tenacity of Curtis Jones – an earlier substitute for Gomez – who stepped up to win possession and find Wirtz inside the box.
The No.7 then created space by shifting the ball onto his left foot before lifting a finish into the top corner via a deflection 15 yards out.
The home team piled on the pressure in search of a winner – but in a dramatic finale, Wilson Isidor rounded Alisson only have his strike towards the empty net blocked on the line by Federico Chiesa.

Isak opened the scoring on the hour mark at London Stadium, representing his first strike in the Premier League for the Reds.
The hosts were then reduced to 10 men in the 83rd minute, when Lucas Paqueta was sent off for receiving two yellow cards in quick succession, before Gakpo wrapped up the points with a stoppage-time finish.
The result meant Arne Slot's men arrested a three-match losing run in all competitions.
Team news
Alisson Becker and Florian Wirtz returned from illness and injury respectively, while there was a first league start of 2025-26 for Joe Gomez.
Isak came in for Hugo Ekitike, who began on the bench after his back complaint against PSV Eindhoven in midweek.
First half
A period of applause was held ahead of kick-off in memory of West Ham great Billy Bonds, following his passing at the age of 79 on Sunday morning.
There was a relatively tame beginning to the match and it took 21 minutes for the first clear-cut chance to be created.
After Gakpo did well to head a Gomez delivery back across goal, an opportunity opened up for Isak. His close-range hit on the swivel was batted away by goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
The only other notable moments before that were an Isak curler that was way off target and Virgil van Dijk's header from a corner flying wide.
Wirtz will have felt he should have given Liverpool a lead to take into half-time.
Six minutes before the interval, a Van Dijk launch into the West Ham penalty area was brought down by Gakpo and nudged into the path of Wirtz, whose side-foot effort was saved low by Areola.
A threatening Gomez cross from the right channel, in search of Isak, required intervention from Areola in the closing stages.
Second half
The Reds would go ahead 15 minutes into the second period and came in the aftermath of a long throw-in of theirs into the Hammers' box.
Wirtz picked up the attempted clearance and slid the ball into Gakpo, who proceeded to hook it into a central area.
Isak was stationed in the right place to convert with a first-time finish, in what turned out to be his final meaningful contribution to the affair.
His replacement, Ekitike, went close with a curling shot from distance a few minutes after being introduced.
Now in front, the three points and a clean sheet were the objectives for Liverpool.
West Ham, down a player after Paqueta's sending-off, still went close to equalising towards the end with a Jarrod Bowen strike.
But the game was put beyond them two minutes into five of added-on time, Gakpo cushioning Gomez's cross and then firing into the net.
