Liverpool’s midweek Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen was arguably Arne Slot’s biggest challenge yet, and he smashed it.
Despite another slow start, the Reds were able to emerge as 4-0 victors over a side that hasn’t lost away from home in 18 months.
The line-up raised some eyebrows before kick-off, with Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo starting alongside each other.
Diaz would play through the middle and his performance will have given Slot the opposite of a selection headache, there is now a clear front three that will make Liverpool unstoppable.
The Colombian showed just how good he can be through the middle, a position which the Reds are a bit short in, by scoring his first ever Liverpool hat trick.
