The Reds took the lead in the first half as Alexander Isak scored his first Liverpool goal, with the Swedish international making his second start for the club.

Although Ekitike was sent off for a second yellow card after removing his shirt, the night will also be remembered for another reason.
There has even been talk of Chiesa potentially leaving Liverpool, with sources telling Football Insider that he’s currently ‘unhappy’ at Anfield.
