Paul Gorst (@ptgorst) on XImportant clearance from Konate from Xhaka's pass across the face. Leverkusen also want a penalty, Frimpong goes down under a challenge from Van Dijk but he was looking for it.
The former LFC midfielder returns to Merseyside tonight, this time in the dugout as he manages his Bayer Leverkusen side against the Reds! 👋Premier League (@premierleague) on X
Xabi Alonso spent five successful years at the club including their 2004/05 Champions League triumph, and returns to Merseyside for the first time as a manager with Bayer Leverkusen
Paul Gorst (@ptgorst) on XSalah's cross, Diaz holds off a challenge and sticks it home. 3-0, game over. Liverpool are going top of that great big Champions League.
This Is Anfield (@thisisanfield) on XThe Kop sing Xabi Alonso's name but the Leverkusen boss doesn't acknowledge it. Perhaps because his side is losing 3-0.
Keifer MacDonald (@KeiferMacD) on XArne Slot's name rings out around Anfield with Liverpool 3-0 up against Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen. Anfield then pays homage to the Spaniard with a rendition of 'Xabi Alonso, Xabi Alonso, Xabi Alonso!'
- (@AnfieldRd96) on X• Top of the Champions League. • Díaz is our new striker. • Gakpo under Slot is special. • Salah with 2 assists, standard. • Jones starts for the foreseeable future. • Still haven’t played anyone good?
