After a first half mostly devoid of real goalscoring chances – and unfortunately punctuated by an injury to Fabinho – the Reds got in front early in the second.
Diogo Jota provided the finish at the end of a flowing move involving Trent Alexander-Arnold and Xherdan Shaqiri, with the Portuguese’s third goal for the Reds also the 10,000th in club history.
Mohamed Salah’s penalty finally clinched the points for Jürgen Klopp’s men in stoppage time, making it two wins from two in the section.
The result in L4, coupled with the 2-2 draw between Atalanta BC and AFC Ajax elsewhere in the group, means Liverpool now lead it by two points.
