Liverpool had the better of proceedings in the early stages despite being unable to create much in the way of a goalscoring opportunity.

But the Reds looked sharp going forward and a well-worked move led to driving inside the box, with the Reds youngster seeing his curling effort parried by goalkeeper Diogo Costa onto his teammate's legs before Mohamed Salah prodded the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-0.

Liverpool dominated the rhythm of the game, with the hosts largely unable to get out of their own half, although the Reds should have done better to make more of their superiority and find a second goal.

Mehdi Taremi grabbed a consolidation goal for the Portuguese side as he got ahead of substitute and headed the ball past Alisson to make it 3-1, but any hopes of an unlikely comeback were dashed by the Reds soon after.

An error by Costa, who was caught in no man's land, allowed substitute Roberto Firmino the chance to finish from the best part of 30 yards out, with the Brazilian seeing his shot cross the line despite Costa's best efforts to rectify his mistake as the Reds restored their three-goal advantage.

Liverpool looked in no mood to stop there and they found a fifth goal just six minutes later as Jones' shot from outside the box was deflected into the path of Firmino, who accepted his second of the game after coming on from the bench with a calm finish past Costa.

It means the Reds sit at the top of Group B with six points following another successful outing in the , with all focus now turning to Man City's visit of at the weekend.
