Overview
- Dominik Szoboszlai struck with a first‑half injury‑time free kick at the Stade Vélodrome as Liverpool controlled the match.
- Jeremie Frimpong burst to the byline for the second goal, with his low ball deflecting in off goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, a touch that likely denies him an official assist.
- Frimpong dismissed the assist question, saying he only cared that the ball crossed the line and lauding a display where “nothing went wrong.”
- The victory stretched Liverpool’s unbeaten run to 13 matches and showcased a more front‑foot, full‑back‑driven approach under Arne Slot.
- Focus now shifts to Qarabag at Anfield to lock in group seeding and to translating European form into steadier Premier League results before the trip to Bournemouth.
