Defending champions Liverpool faced a surprisingly stiff test against Belgium's Genk on Tuesday in Champions League Group E play. But after finding themselves knotted at 1-1 apiece at the half, Liverpool emerged as the 2-1 winner.
Georginio Wijnaldum and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain tallied for Liverpool, while Mbwana Samatta scored the lone goal for Genk.
With the result, Liverpool moved to nine points and remained atop the Group E table, while Genk's already dim chances of advancing to the knockout phase were officially put to rest, as they have just one point and remain at the bottom of the group.
