Liverpool left no doubt that they belong in the Round of 16 with a dominant 6-0 win over Qarabag at Anfield. Alexis Mac Allister led the line with two goals and nearly netted a hat trick. However, the night was overshadowed by an early injury to Jeremie Frimpong, who was forced off in the fourth minute.
- Alisson (6/10): A quiet night, but controlled his box
- Frimpong (6/10): Came off too early to make an impact
- Van Dijk (8/10): Solid corner that led to Mac Alisster's header. Was the first ever Centreback to have 3 assists in a Champions League match
- Gakpo (6/10): Good game, but several near misses
- Robertson (7/10): Solid in the back, good moments coming forward. Should earn him more minutes
- Wirtz (6/10): Simple finish for a goal, but not much else
- Salah (8/10): Beautiful strike on the free kick goal for the Egyptian King. Inches away from more glory on other occasions
- Mac Allister (8/10): Headed the ball across the line for the opening goal and poached a second
- Szoboszlai (7/10): Nice touch to Salah for the third goal
- Ekitiké (8/10): A goal and an assist. Good touch to get around the defender to set up a strike
- Gravenberch (7/10): Decent night. Did admirably, having to play out of position due to injuries
The Substitutes
- Endo (6/10) Forced to play nearly a full 90. No mistakes
- Nyoni (6/10) Good minutes for the youngster
- Ngumoha (6/10) Bright moments after coming on, earning a corner and a free kick
- Cheisa (7/10): Got in some good spots and garnered a stoppage time finish
- Nallo (6/10) Nothing stood out
Man of the Match
- Mac Allister: Two goals and nearly had a hat trick
The Manager
- Arne Slot (8/10) Nice bounce back for the boss after a tough week. Switching formations back to a 4-2-3-1 was key.
