Liverpool topped their Europa League group after beating LASK 4-0 at Anfield on Thursday night. With Liverpool’s win and Toulouse’s defeat to Union Saint-Giloise, Reds maintained their top spot in Group E.
Twelve minutes later, Luis Diaz opened the scoring for Jurgen Klopp’s side, heading in a beautiful header from Joe Gomez’s cross.
Cody Gakpo doubled Liverpool’s lead minutes later after good work from Diaz and Mohamed Salah. Salah added a third goal from the penalty spot early in the second half and Gakpo completed the scoring after receiving a clever pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 91st minute.
“A spectacular display” by Liverpool Gems Harvey Elliott.It was a perfect performance for Liverpool with some young players playing and performing well. Harvey Elliott, for example, put in an impressive performance and showed once again that he is one of England’s most exciting young players.
The 20-year-old had four shots on goal, two of which were on target, and had three assists, according to Whoscored. Elliott also completed 1 dribble, 6 crosses, 6 long balls and 1 tackle.
The teenager was one of three players on the night to be awarded an 8 out of 10 by the Liverpool Echo. “Busy and effective on the right of the middle three, winning many loose balls, directing a free-kick and forcing a good save from Rawal,” they wrote.”Nice playing.”
Elliott has taken some big steps forward this season and it’s interesting to think how much he can improve as he gains more experience on and off the practice field.
