A much-changed Liverpool team continued their perfect form in the Europa League with a ruthless victory over French club Toulouse in Group E.
In a thrilling match at Anfield, the hosts took an early lead when Diogo Jota skillfully navigated past a couple of defenders in the ninth minute and found the back of the net.
Toulouse’s Response
Toulouse swiftly responded through Thijs Dallinga, who, staying onside, embarked on a remarkable 40-yard run to slot in an equalizer.
Captain’s Redemption
Liverpool’s stand-in captain, Trent Alexander-Arnold, made amends for the earlier lapse by delivering a precise cross for Wataru Endo. Endo’s header marked his first goal for Liverpool in the 30th minute.
Nunez Extends the Lead
Darwin Nunez further solidified Liverpool’s advantage by blasting in a third goal, giving the Reds a commanding 3-1 lead at half-time.
Nunez’s Near Miss and Gravenberch’s Rebound
In the second half, Nunez had a chance to extend the lead further as he gracefully glided past Toulouse keeper Guillaume Restes but struck the post. Fortunately, Ryan Gravenberch was there to score a fourth for Liverpool on the rebound, sealing a memorable victory.
