"Alexis Mac Allister was on hand to bundle home Virgil van Dijk's flick-on from Dominik Szoboszlai's deflected corner for the 15th-minute opener, before Ekitike slotted through for Florian Wirtz to find the bottom-left corner six minutes later. Liverpool's dominance continued in the second period when Szoboszlai rolled a free-kick on the edge of the area for Mohamed Salah to steer into the top-left corner in the 50th minute."
"Ekitike finally got in on the act seven minutes later, capitalising on a Bahlul Mustafazada mistake from Van Dijk's pass before speeding past Kevin Medina and rounding Mateusz Kochalski to score. A fortuitous deflection allowed Mac Allister another simple finish just past the hour, before Federico Chiesa capped a memorable performance in the 90th minute with a well-taken strike following Van Dijk's marauding run."
