BBC Radio Merseyside reporter Ian Kennedy reacting to Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen: “At one point we were thinking a draw wouldn’t be the worst result in the world in terms of the format of the competition, but they really did come on strong in that second half.

“Leverkusen were well organised, they were dangerous going forward, but we just didn’t see a lot of that apart from a little spell when the game was 3-0 and Kelleher had to make a couple saves.

“Liverpool were really impressive in that second half. Luis Diaz got the hat-trick, I thought Curtis Jones played really well and also Ryan Gravenberch in midfield.

“Slot didn’t have to make changes at half-time, he kept the same team, whatever he said obviously had the desired effect.

“The first goal was just sublime and it was so important in the context of just how tight the game had been. The through ball from Curtis Jones was just a dream and the finish, the little dink from Diaz, was a thing to behold.

“After the second goal there was not really a way back for Leverkusen, Gakpo getting the header in, and it was a bit of an exhibition after that.”
