The Reds overcame an uninspiring opening half an hour that saw them fall behind to bounce back emphatically with a 4-1 win over Newcastle in which once again the flourishing partnership of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike came to the fore.

Ekitike scored twice and Wirtz added a third before an emotional Ibou Konate honoured his late father with a goal at the Kop end. TLW Editor Dave Usher and Paul Natton look back on an enjoyable night at Anfield and look ahead to what will hopefully be another against City next week.

Six goals and a clean sheet for the Reds as they continued to show that the open brand of Champions League football suits them far better than the attritional set-piece warfare of domestic football.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Stu Montagu and Pete Schulz to reflect on a fun evening, while also looking ahead to the weekend's clash with Newcastle and discussing the broader topic of injuries, transfers (or lack of) and Arne Slot's future.

The Reds' unbeaten limp came to an abrupt end as Bournemouth scored with the very last kick of the game to win at the Vitality Stadium. Liverpool had come from 2-0 to level but the closing stages were end to end and both teams had chances to win it before the Cherries' last gasp goal.

Chris Smith and Dave Usher react to a tough one and discuss how this five game winless run in the league might impact the job security of Arne Slot.
