Buts : Diaz (61e83e et 90e+2) et Gakpo (63e)
Two minutes of happiness.
Liverpool waited an hour before sinking Bayer Leverkusen in just two minutes. Untenable, the Reds have a fourth victory in as many matches in this Champions League and are temporarily alone in the lead (4-0). For this, Arne Slot's gang will have taken their time. And could even have gotten into difficulty if Jeremie Frimpong's opener had not been (logically) refused for a handball in the final moments of a rather closed first act.
And Luis Diaz caught fire
But the wait was worth it for the supporters who came to support their team at Anfield. In a few minutes, Liverpool indeed offers two jewels to change the game. With a wonderful pass, Curtis Jones sends Luis Diaz to open the scoring with a magnificent dive (1-0, 61e). In the process, it is Mohamed Salah who delivers a remote-controlled cross to the head of Cody Gakpo, ultimately not offside, at the end of a great collective action (2-0, 63e). It is still in the role of passer that we find the Egyptian around twenty minutes later, when Diaz shines again (3-0, 83e). Far from being satisfied, the Colombian takes one last after a poorly repelled Darwin Núñez strike (4-0, 90e+2).
But who will be able to pick up this Liverpool team?
