Liverpool frustrated by Michel Vorm's inspired saves for Swansea City

A late wonder save from goalkeeper Michel Vorm earned Swansea a memorable point as Liverpool failed to win at Anfield for the third succesive game.
The Dutchman tipped over Glen Johnson's 20-yard shot in a thrilling goalless draw but Andy Carroll should have given Liverpool an early lead at Anfield.
Carroll hit the Swansea bar but the visitors may have won it when Mark Gower squandered a great late chance.
And both teams had penalty appeals turned down in a frantic second half.The last time these two teams met Liverpool won 8-0, but times have changed for Swansea, who were good value for what was only their second away point in the Premier League – even if they did end up heavily indebted to Michel Vorm, who pulled off two outstanding saves in the last two minutes.

Holland's No2 goalkeeper therefore earned the accolades ahead of Pepe Reina, who equalled a record held jointly by Bruce Grobbelaar and Ray Clemence with his 150th clean sheet for Liverpool.
