After Alberto Moreno put Liverpool ahead in the 33rd minute, Lallana's first goal came with a bit of luck as Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski hit a clearance straight at the midfielder, and the ball bounced off his shoulder and looped into the net to make it 2-0 in the 51st.

Gylfi Sigurdsson replied for Swansea just a minute later, but Lallana restored the two-goal cushion by going around two defenders and slotting a low shot inside the far post in the 61st.

Jonjo Shelvey headed in an own-goal in the 69th, giving Liverpool four goals in a game for the first time this season.

Liverpool climbed above Swansea into eighth.
