Match Highlights

1′. 0:0. VAR Decision: NO GOAL! The ball finds the back of the Liverpool net via Anthony’s boot, following a mix-up involving Alisson and Konate. However, the flag goes up and the VAR check confirms he was offside.

3′. 0:1. Semenyo strikes unerringly from the right side of the box to the bottom left corner. An error by Alexander-Arnold is not swept, and the Solanke prods the ball through a gap before Semenyo thumps it.

9′. Alisson commits a foul outside his area after attempting to play out from the back, and is cautioned.

16′. Semenyo is shown the yellow card for pulling Gakpo back.

26′. Anthony is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.

28′. 1:1. GOAL! What a strike! Jota is released into open space on the right side of the penalty area and he finds Diaz with his pass. With his back to goal, the forward takes a touch before acrobatically hooking a shot over his shoulder and into the net and brings the Anfield crowd to its feet.

35′. Neto is shown the yellow card.

36′. 2:1. GOAL! Salah scores at the second attempt. Neto blocks his initial effort from penalty, but the Egyptian is first to the rebound ball and rasps it in from very close range.

58′. Mac Allister is shown a straight red card for a challenge on Christie.

62′. 3:1. GOAL! Liverpool might be down to 10 men but they’ve extended their advantage on the scoresheet. Neto saves a well-executed chest-and-volley attempt from Szoboszlai, parrying the ball away. However, Jota is in a good position to react quickly and taps in the rebound.
