00:00Florian Wurtz and Alexander Isak unleashed from the start a debut for Isak
00:05with Mohamed Salah bringing the established class. Three more new boys on
00:10the bench, Giovanni Leone, Hugo Eketike, for Italian international striker Giacomo
00:15Raspadori alongside the considerable attacking talents and indeed experience.
00:22The wall looks well constructed. Salah goes low and dribbles through.
00:34Inside four minutes Liverpool ahead. Mohamed Salah hit it low, hit it true, a
00:43deflection took it past Oblak. Liverpool 1-0.
00:50Well up to this point in the season Liverpool have relied on late goals.
00:57They've won all four Premier League matches inside the last ten minutes of matches.
01:04Up through the gears goes Salah, little touch through. Salah still going!
01:10Liverpool on fire from the start.
01:16Barely tied for the blink of an eye and they're two...
01:20Connor Gallagher.
01:26Giuliano Simeone.
01:29First shot.
01:33Morant!
01:35The pressure on Barrios, Isak touches it to Salah. Salah goes low but straight at Oblak.
01:48Kanate.
01:50Frimpong.
01:51Needed to time that right, Longley managed to do so.
01:54There's a great ball from Kanate.
01:58I think he might have given a penalty.
02:03Well a giant cheer around Anfield would suggest so.
02:09The referee advised that he might want to take another look at it.
02:13Well his first view he obviously felt it hit an arm.
02:18I think when he sees this on reflection he'll change his mind.
02:22You see why he thinks it as well from where his position was.
02:29Given away though by Barrios.
02:43Isak.
02:44There's good pressure again from Liverpool.
02:52And he picks the ball up Alexander Isak.
02:55And gets his shot away so quickly.
02:57There's very little back lift.
02:59Literally just tries to get that shot away so quickly.
03:03Salah's waiting.
03:05He was there to meet it but shredded Oblak.
03:07Liverpool starting to purr again in the final stages of the first half.
03:19It's Isak.
03:28Despedori seems to have kept himself on side here.
03:31In towards Norente.
03:37There's something about Anfield.
03:42Gravenberg.
03:45Van Dijk making sure he got his head on that.
03:51And the scintillating first half comes to an end at Anfield.
03:54On his 47th birthday he had the dream start.
03:59Look at the watch from the Italian referee Maurizio Mariani.
04:02One goal deficit.
04:07For Atletico de Madrid as they get this second half underway.
04:13Now look at her back to Griezmann.
04:16Laspadori.
04:17Good quick feet.
04:18Alisson makes the save.
04:20Van Dijk leads the inquisition as to how that was made to look so easy.
04:25Well really good runs.
04:26In between the full backs and the centre halves.
04:29Into that inside channel.
04:32Every time they've thrown the board to the box.
04:34Or crossed it from wide.
04:35Canate or Van Dijk has dealt with it really easily.
04:38The Vets.
04:40Cooley, calmly, elegantly even to Suboslai.
04:43Eketike.
04:45Suboslai and Vets getting in each other's way.
04:47But it's Salah!
04:49Who's blasted it against the foot of the post.
04:54This was the previous opportunity for Mo Salah.
04:57Vets eventually finding Salah.
04:59Coke.
05:09Able to scoop it back.
05:11Barrios.
05:13Canate with the block.
05:15Llorente!
05:19It's happened again!
05:23This is beyond extraordinary.
05:25extraordinary. The same man on the same ground at the double against Liverpool in the Champions
05:34League. What a strike, by the way, from Llorente. What a story, by the way, from Marcos Llorente.
05:46Well, it's just ridiculous. Six minutes in, you couldn't have foreseen this.
05:52They've stuck to their task, they've stayed in the game. They've found a route back at the start,
06:00at the end of the first half, and in the second, with the aid of a big deflection, Llorente has
06:07drawn them level. Loops over Alisson, he can't get there.
06:22Soboslai with the corner, Canate with the header. Can his boys deliver the head coach a late
06:33birthday present? Eketike! Oh, that whistle's wide. It's the side netting.
06:39There were one or two, before that was in.
06:55Soboslai sent it in, Van Dijk!
06:57They just find a way. And this time it's the captain who leads the way.
07:12Diego Simeone, for his reaction, has been sent off a straight red card. He had been booked before.
07:28Soboslai had his head up, nearly taken off his toes, but he has it here.
07:32Soboslai, now Salah. Eketikei, over.
07:39We'll get a better look. Oh, I think he's on. I think he manages to hold his run and stay onside.
07:53Llorente, final hope of salvaging something, soboslai!
07:56A gloriously entertaining Anfield night ends with another late Liverpool win.
