Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah breaks European goalscoring record The Egypt international was unsurprisingly named among the substitutes for the visit of the Coupe de France holders, who came into the affair sat just two points worse off than Jurgen Klopp’s side. Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez were chosen to form the hosts’ attacking trident, and the latter two both found the net in a frenzied first half either side of a Wataru Endo header.
Thijs Dallinga had briefly given Toulouse hope after Jota’s opener, but Les Violets’ respite was short-lived, as Endo’s first Reds goal and Nunez’s emphatic finish into the roof of the net saw Liverpool take a 3-1 lead into the break.
Following the interval, Gabriel Suazo and Nunez were both guilty of horror misses with the goal gaping, but the latter’s blunder proved inconsequential, as Ryan Gravenberch followed up to deservedly get his name on the scoresheet.
Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah broke yet another goalscoring record with his late strike in the Reds’ 5-1 Europa League dismantling of Toulouse in Group E.
