Liverpool were 2-1 winners at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
Saturday’s early kick-off saw Swansea City hosting Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium.
The Reds were keen to get a positive result from the game after losing the same fixture 3-1 last season, and they did just that as a strike from Roberto Firmino and then a penalty from James Milner saw them to a 2-1 victory.
Before the game, we compared midfielders Jordan Henderson and Leroy Fer to see how the two players had compared so far this season.
Henderson came out on top in that comparison, winning in five of the eight areas we looked at, and he proved to be the better player in the game also as he was victorious in six out of eight areas.
He managed to win more tackles, more interceptions and post more ball recoveries than the Dutchman.
His passing was also better as he posted more accurate passes, 78 compared to 27 and enjoyed a better overall passing accuracy.
The England man also recorded more key passes than his opponent, who did not manage to register a single one in the game.
The only areas Fer came out on top in were shots on target and goals, having opened the scoring in the game.
A comfortable win for Henderson, though, who continued his fine early-season form in this game.
