A second-half flurry of goals followed, with Mohamed Salah curling in a free-kick and Hugo Ekitike coolly finishing off a fast break before Mac Allister bundled in his second and Liverpool’s fifth of the match just after the hour mark. Federico Chiesa added the finishing touches at the death after being played in by Virgil van Dijk’s third assist of the night, leaving the jubilant home crowd and manager Arne Slot with plenty to celebrate.
