Liverpool need a good dose of morale10th in the Premier, before Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City welcomed this Sunday, 2nd, and got it by beating Rangers 1-7 in the Champions League, putting the ‘reds’ very close to the said eighth tournament Roberto Firmino led the way for Liverpool with a brace, the third goal for the Anfield team was the work of Darwin Núñez and then came an amazing hat trick of Mohamed Salah (he got it in 7 minutes) and the goal of Harvey Elliott.
And the truth is that the night started badly for Liverpool. The Rangers advanced in the 17th minute by Scott Arfield, taking advantage of Ryan Jack’s ball. The Scottish team, runner-up in the Europa League, began to dominate. But Firmino, key for Jürgen Klopp’s men on Wednesday, made it 1-1 in the 24th minute, with a header, following a corner delivered by Kostas Tsimikas. In any case, the truth is that the first half is equal. Rangers were unlucky: Goldson and Jack had to withdraw due to injury.
And it was that Liverpool managed to overcome the beginning of the match where he showed his distrust. But, with Firmino’s first goal, the ‘reds’ did their best and in a heavy second half they took advantage of Rangers’ mistakes to achieve a landslide that came at a crucial moment.
So, Liverpool starred in a festival in the second half: Firmino in 55′, Darwin Núñez in 66′, Salah in 75′, 80′ and 82′ and finally Elliott in 87′ (the young winger’s first goal in Europe) they put 1-7 in the Ibrox Park score.
Joe Gomez was the star with a precise pass which Firmino converted to make it 1-2.. Firmino helped Núñez himself, while Diogo Jota was the author of 3 assists, leading to Salah’s triple. The Egyptian star started on the bench and came on in the 68th minute for Núñez. Jota relieved Firmino in the 73rd minute.
Right now, he is the leader of the A team Napoli (with 12 points and qualified for the round of 16). They are followed by Liverpool (9), Ajax (3) and Rangers who have not added any points. If they do not lose against ‘ajacied’ in Amsterdam on October 26, the ‘reds’ will be finished. Rangers are relegated after losing all 4 games played so far. Ajax went down 4-2 against Napoli on Wednesday.
