Rio Ngumoha and Alexis Mac Allister stole the show, claiming two assists and two goals respectively to haul the Reds back into the lead.It was not all good for Andoni Iraola, though, and he will face some serious questions over the way his team set up during the opening half an hour. Bradley Barcola and Florian Wirtz have both made an impact in the last two Liverpool games!

Made up for it – and vastly improved his score – by following Rio Ngumoha’s ball in to nod the Reds level with the final touch of the half and his last of the game. He was better than Van Dijk, and it was not all bad, but this was his worst display since arriving at the club.

From there he got worse, and after his diabolical display in LASK last time out, this was another really concerning outing. Substitutes Florian Wirtz: 8 – Wirtz’s best outing of the season without a shadow of a doubt as he rolled in his first of the campaign.
