Match Highlights
11′. Caicedo goes into the book for dissent after a foul on Diaz.
23′. 1:0. GOAL! Vintage Diogo J.! Jota bounds his way between Silva and Badiashile on the edge of the area, taking advantage of a fortunate ricochet as slotting his finish into the bottom-right corner beyond Petrovic.
33′. Fernandez sees yellow for a late one on Jones just outside the area.
35′. Chilwell takes a tumble under Konate’s attentions inside the box… and gets a yellow for diving simulation.
39′. 2:0. GOAL! What a moment for Conor Bradley! The youngster rasped in his first senior goal for the Reds! Liverpool win the ball back in the centre of the box and Diaz picks out Bradley’s raid down the right. And No.84 drills it across keeper and into the far bottom corner.
41′. Disasi is booked for dissent.
46+2′. 2:0. Penalty… Nunez steps up to take the spot-kick… No.9 beats Petrovic but the ball cannons back off the right post.
47′. Nunez goes into the book.
65′. 3:0. GOAL! Szoboszlai scores! And it’s another that involves Conor Bradley. The Northern Irishman collected Van Dijk’s raking diagonal to the touchline and served in a cross to Dominik. And Szoboszlai nodded in Bradley’s Kop-end cross and surely it’s game over now!
71′. 3:1. Nkunku capitalising on a chance to get turned inside the Liverpool area and beats Alisson with a low shot into the far corner.
76′. Konate is booked for a foul on Nkunku.
79′. 4:1. GOAL! Diaz make it! Nunez moved into space in the left and thumped a pass across the face of goal into the six-yard box. Where Diaz steals in to nudge in from close range also brought up Klopp’s 200th league win with the club.
