The Reds produced a confident performance in Bergamo to emphatically defeat Serie A side Atalanta 5-0, with Diogo Jota’s hat-trick added to by Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in the second half.
Jürgen Klopp’s men therefore set a blistering pace in the section with a maximum nine points, five clear of both their opponents on Tuesday night and AFC Ajax.
The latter claimed their first victory in the group on the evening with a 2-1 result against FC Midtjylland in Herning.
There will be now a pause in the Champions League before the action resumes on November 25, when Liverpool will welcome Atalanta to Anfield and Ajax host Midtjylland.
