Jurgen Klopp’s men got past their Scottish opponents with a dominant performance.
Liverpool defeated Rangers 2-0 in their Champions League game on Tuesday. A brilliant early goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold paved the way for the Reds’ crucial home win.
TAA hits back with a free-kick!
Liverpool continued their Premier League struggle with an unexpected draw against Brighton last weekend.
Alexander-Arnold received deserved criticism for his unimpressive performance against the Seagulls. But both he and Liverpool started the game with a different pace.
The Reds took control of the match early on, scoring the opener only seven minutes in. Alexander- Arnold scored a brilliant free-kick to put his side ahead as Liverpool looked set to score more before half-time.
Klopp’s men maintained their dominance over possession but had to wait until the 53rd minute to double their lead.
Following a foul on Louis Diaz, the referee awarded Liverpool a penalty, which was then converted by Mohamed Salah.
Both Salah and Diaz had several more chances to increase Liverpool’s lead, but the Reds had to settle for the 2-0 win.
The result takes Liverpool behind Napoli on the Group A table. The Reds will meet Rangers again next week after facing Arsenal at Etihad on Sunday.
