"Liverpool put a dismal defeat to Manchester United behind them with a ruthless 5-1 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night. Arne Slot's men were excellent in Germany, and Hugo Ekitike was right at the forefront of their attacking brilliance. The Frenchman started on the right of a three-man attack and grabbed a 35th minute equaliser. The Reds countered and he surged forward against his former club before neatly tucking the ball away after the vistors had made a worrying start."
"Ekitike was a live wire throughout, showing why Liverpool spent an initial £69m to bring him to Anfield. He didn't just bag himself his sixth goal in 12 games since joining the club; he was a constant threat while also linking up well with the likes of Florian Wirtz and Curtis Jones until he came off for Mohamed Salah in the 74th minute to applause from both sets of fans."
"The 23-year-old's performance was in stark contrast to Isak's, and the Swede looks a shadow of his Newcastle self. If a club is spending £125m on a player who knows the Premier League down to the ground you expect an immediate impact. Isak was poor again tonight after a toothless display against United on the weekend. He was rarely involved and Slot had seen enough by half-time and decided to bring the 26-year-old off."
Liverpool recovered from a heavy loss to Manchester United with a dominant 5-1 victory away at Eintracht Frankfurt. Arne Slot's side controlled the game in Germany and Hugo Ekitike led the attack, scoring an equaliser and causing constant problems for the hosts. Ekitike linked well with Florian Wirtz and Curtis Jones before being substituted for Mohamed Salah to applause from both sets of fans. Alexander Isak delivered a poor performance, was substituted at half-time, and now faces the prospect of losing his starting place ahead of the Brentford match.
