On an afternoon when Mo Salah proved he is human after all, Liverpool fans went away hoping their side are saving their best for this week's Champions League semi-final second leg in Rome.
As for Stoke, a battling point is unlikely to be enough for Premier League survival despite Erik Pieters successfully restraining Salah with some strong marking and getting away with a debatable handball.
All Paul Lambert's side can do now is reach 36 points by winning their final games against Crystal Palace and Swansea, and hope a lot of other results go their way.
