Liverpool ended their four-match losing streak with a comfortable 5-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night. The Reds ran riot in Germany as they looked to get their campaign back on track.
Despite falling behind when Rasmus Kristensen finished past Giorgi Mamardashvili, Arne Slot's side responded when Hugo Ekitike raced clear to score. The Reds then turned the game on its head when Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate scored before the break.
Second-half goals from Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai completed the rout, as Liverpool made it two wins from two in this season's Champions League. Reds boss Slot opted to make five changes to his starting line-up, following Sunday's defeat to Manchester United.

One of those to come in was summer signing Florian Wirtz and, taking to social media after the game, he wrote: “+3 @championsleague - that's how we like it."
Goalscorer Szoboszlai declared: "We're back! Come on Reds!" Andy Robertson posted: "Top team performance."
While Konate said: "That's more like it." And Curtis Jones, another who came in after starting Sunday's game on the bench, said: "Proper team performance!"
Speaking after the game, Reds boss Slot said: "Maybe, yes, although I saw a lot of similarities in the last few weeks, in the last few games we played. I also saw some differences.

"The similarities were that we already create a few chances before we conceded the first one and the first chance we conceded was usually a goal. In the end it turned out to be the only chance we conceded.
"Why was that? Because we went 3-1 up so then it's easier to control the game than when you're 1-0 down all the time. I've said here a few times telling you guys how important set-pieces are, how important the balance at set-pieces is.
"Now we were able to score two so you go 3-1 up at half-time because you score two set-pieces.
"That is a big, big, big difference and you go in at half-time at 1-1 with still the same amount of chances, but people will judge us definitely differently when you don't score them.
"The biggest exception for me compared to other games we've played was the playing style of our opponent.
"We got some energy out of the moments we could press them, which in the last four or five games we played we were not able to press the opponent because the ball wasn't on the ground, it was in the air."
