 | Four goals, one of which was brilliant, broke Liverpool`s negative streak24-10-2019 |
Liverpool have interrupted their streak of four straight games without a win as a away team in the Champions League group stage after defeating the 4-1 Luminus Arena Genk. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (2 `57 `) gave the visitors a flying start and then scored an extremely second hit which broke the Belgian team. Sadio Manet (77 `) and Mohammed Salah (87 `) completed what was started, and Stephen Oday (88 `) completed the honorable shot for Genk. Thus, Liverpool remain second in Group E with a six-point asset - one less than Napoli`s team, which overcame 3-2 over Red Bull Salzburg in the other group game.
Jurgen Klop had made five changes to his squad compared to the derby with Manchester United. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip missed the match due to injuries, starting instead with James Milner and Dejan Lovren. Nabi Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain started in the midfield until Mohammed Salah, who missed Sunday`s derby due to an ankle injury, returned to the titular offensive trio with Sadio Manet and Roberto Firmino. Jordan Henderson, Georges Wijnaldum, and Divok Origi stayed on the bench for the start.
Mbwana herself led the attack on Genk. Carlos Queesta and Paul Onuachu were also homeowners.
The match started perfectly for the guests. Even before two minutes had elapsed, Oxlade-Chamberlain, who played his first Champions League game of April 2018 today, found the result after receiving from Fabinho and firing very closely from the penalty area.
Genk could level up very quickly. In the fourth minute, Sam broke to the left, overtook Kate and fired diagonally, but away from the far beam.
The duel continued in the same two-pointed manner. In the sixth minute, the Merseyside called for a penalty kick as Maele seemed to knock down Firmino, who was trying on the far beam to detect Milner`s centering. However, the signal did not follow.
In the ninth minute, Alison rescued Liverpool from a leveling goal after the visitors` defense slept a long pass to Onuachu, who broke into the penalty box while Lovren stopped hoping there was an ambush. However, Alison came out and saved Onuachu`s shot.
In the 25th minute, Firmino made a very elegant pass to Manet, but Getan Cooke managed to strike the Senegalese. A minute later, Genk came to the goal after she had her head centered on the right. However, the hit was reversed. At first, he didn`t understand why it was suspected that there might be a foul against Milner, but minutes later a repetition was provided, which showed that Ito, who was centering towards Samata, was an inch behind. VAR confirmed that decision and Liverpool got rid of it. By the time of the break Robertson and Salah had missed good opportunities to increase the advance of their guests. She wasted a very lucrative chance for Genk after being missed again, but was unable to detect the next centering of Ito.
In the 57th minute Oxlade-Chamberlain thanked for the confidence of Jurgen Klop with an exceptional second goal, which will surely argue for one of the hits of the season in the World Cup. Kate found Firmino, the Brazilian returned to the Merseyside midfielder
