The Reds struck twice late on to claim all three points at Anfield.

Arne Slot’s side raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo.

However, a quick-fire double from Antoine Semenyo turned the game on its head.

But with two minutes of normal time remaining, substitute Federico Chiesa fired the Reds back ahead before Mohamed Salah sealed all three points in stoppage time.

The game was also Liverpool's first competitive fixture at Anfield since the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva in a car crash last month.

And reacting to the win, Linda Pizzuti, the wife of Liverpool's principal owner John W Henry, wrote on Instagram: "The 2025-2026 campaign starts with three points for Liverpool, with beautiful and meaningful tributes to Diogo Jota #20.
