Liverpool mod Qarabag Agdam

It might have been an uncomfortable evening for the hosts, but Liverpool easily dismantled Qarabag to cruise through to the last sixteen of the Champions League. Having gone in at the interval two goals to the good, Arne Slot’s men turned on the style in the second half to release any residual tension around Anfield. The Reds' xG score of 5.6 illustrates the scale of their dominance, while the visitors struggled to create any clear-cut opportunities. A brace from Alexis Mac Allister alongside strikes from Wirtz, Salah, Ekitike, and Chiesa enabled Liverpool to saunter over the finish line, as Qarabag received news of positive results elsewhere. The Azerbaijani outfit secure a place in the knockout stages despite tonight’s battering, a massive milestone in the club’s modest history. Thanks for joining us for this entertaining Champions League clash – we’ll see you next time!

FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 6-0 QARABAG

GOOOAAALLLL!!! THAT’S THE CHERRY ON TOP!! Substitute Chiesa tucks the ball home from ten yards out after being out through by a roaming van Dijk. It originally seemed as if the Italian was offside, but VAR has awarded the goal! It’s now 6-0!
