Liverpool are ahead for the first time tonight and it is Alexis Mac Allister with a rocket from the edge of the box.
The Reds have started off the second half just as they finished the first and within no time have got themselves a deserved lead.
The goal comes after a brilliant bit of play from Rio Ngumoha who beat Marcos Llorente with ease with his quick feet before taking a shot, but his shot is blocked.
However, the blocked shot comes deflects and comes in the path of Mac Allister on the edge of the box who unleashes a stunning strike from his weaker foot, which flys low and straight into the bottom left corner.
