Match Report
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s fabulous free-kick set Liverpool on their way to a confidence-boosting 2-0 Champions League win over Rangers at Anfield.
The full-back's form has been much discussed but he lit up the night with a wonderful effort to fire Liverpool ahead before Mohamed Salah scored from the spot after Luis Diaz was fouled by Leon Kent. It only hinted at the total dominance of Jurgen Klopp's side.
The result maintains Liverpool's grip on second spot in Champions League Group A at the halfway stage, while Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side find themselves languishing at the foot of the table without a point or even a goal from their three games so far.
What's next?
Liverpool travel to Arsenal on Sunday.
Rangers host St Mirren at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
The return fixture between Rangers and Liverpool at Ibrox follows the weekend games on Wednesday October 12.
