Solid roundup! That Liverpool collapse really underscores how mentality shifts when a team goes down to 10. I've noticed elite defenses usually tighen the structure after a red card, but dropping points from 2-1 up with minutes left is brutal. The 95th-minute winneris gonna sting for weeks, especially with how competitive the title race could get from here.
