Liverpool continued their perfect start in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night as they secured a 1-0 victory against RB Leipzig at Red Bull Arena.

The Bundesliga side showed why they were one of the in-form teams in Europe early on as they enjoyed the best of the early exchanges, and they almost got in front when Benjamin Šeško's effort curved narrowly wide after Caoimhín Kelleher's error.

Darwin Núñez scored the opener after adding the finishing touch to Mohamed Salah's header in the 27th minute as the Reds took control of the match from that point, almost doubling their advantage through Virgil van Dijk, whose header from a corner was saved by former Liverpool goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi.
