Liverpool had no difficulty in achieving their fourth consecutive victory in the Champions League this season, when they hosted Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield.
The English club achieved a 4-0 victory, after the first half ended in a goalless draw, before coach Arne Slot’s squad showed its fangs in the second half.
Luis Diaz was the star of the match, after scoring three goals.
The Colombian international took the lead in the 61st minute for the Reds, then Cody Gakpo scored the second goal in the 65th minute, before Diaz scored two more goals in the 83rd and 92nd minutes.
Although Mohamed Salah did not score in the match, he left his mark in another way, and we are talking here about the decisive passes.
The Egyptian international made two of the four goals, reaching his 18th goal contribution this season in all competitions, with 9 goals and 9 decisive passes.
With this victory, Liverpool’s tally rose to 12 points, with a full mark, temporarily breaking the partnership with Aston Villa at the top of the Champions League league stage.
On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen continued its disappointing results this season, and with its stumbling, its tally froze at 7 points and dropped to 11th place.
