**First half**
There was an immediate refrain of Andy Robertson’s own song as supporters saluted the left-back after the announcement he will leave the club at the end of this campaign.
Goalmouth incident was minimal in the opening 10 minutes, until a sight of goal for Robertson, whose low hit was blocked by Harry Wilson when picked out by Jeremie Frimpong’s pullback.
Salah was then foiled, Bernd Leno getting down to push away his drive following industrious work from Frimpong on the right flank again.
Referee Anthony Taylor was uninterested in claims for a penalty as Ngumoha hit the turf under the attention of Oscar Bobb while darting into the area.
Gakpo swiped wide from the edge of the box and Salah was blocked at close range by Sander Berge, with Liverpool dominating the play.
The visitors did carve out a shooting chance for Bobb just past the half-hour mark that Giorgi Mamardashvili shovelled away.
Wilson also lofted a finish over the crossbar, and the breakthrough came at the other end of the pitch soon after.
