Liverpool put SIX past Qarabag | OneFootball

Liverpool made light work of Qarabag after putting six past the Azerbaijani side at Anfield.

Arne Slot already has few defenders to choose from so he can't have been pleased to see Jeremie Frimpong replaced just four minutes in with Wataru Endo taking his place after the Dutchman pulled up sharply – a potential hamstring injury.

However, Liverpool still took the lead 15 minutes in as Qarabag failed to deal with a whipped in corner from the left that Alexis Mac Allister was on hand to head in from close range.

It was 2-0 six minutes later, Hugo Ekitiké doing well to free up Florian Wirtz who had space to run in before a fine low finish into he corner beyond the reach of Mateusz Kochalski.

The third arrived five minutes into the second half as Mohamed Salah stood over a free-kick just on the edge of the area and duly sent into into the top left corner.

The fourth came in the 57th minute as Ekitiké won the ball at the halfway line to then go on to run to the edge of the area before coolly converting. A fifth goal soon followed as Mac Allister got on the scoresheet for a second time.

In the final seconds of the game Liverpool made it six with a neatly worked passing routine that cut through the Qarabag defence with Federico Chiesa adding his name to the scoresheet.
