Internationals: Wins all round for Reds on duty
It was a satisfying night for several Liverpool players as their countries each scored four in securing home victories in European qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.
Georginio Wijnaldum played the full 90 minutes in midfield for the Netherlands as they eased to a 4-1 win over Belarus in their Group A clash in Rotterdam.
The Reds man also struck a post late on for the Dutch, who moved into top spot in their section on goal difference ahead of the likes of France and Sweden.
It was a similar story for Ragnar Klavan.
The centre-back featured for the whole game to help Estonia claim a 4-0 result against Gibraltar in their Group H meeting in Tallinn.
Meanwhile, Liverpool duo Simon Mignolet and Divock Origi were unused substitutes during Belgium’s victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina by the same scoreline.
Marko Grujic clocked up 90 minutes for Serbia’s U21s in a 3-1 win at their Republic of Ireland counterparts, in an U21 European Championship preliminary.
Academy prospect Ovie Ejaria continued his impressive development by setting up a goal as England U20s recovered from an early setback to beat Germany 3-1 in Huddersfield.
And Trent Alexander-Arnold celebrated his 18th birthday in style by scoring twice for England U19s in another 3-1 success, away in Croatia.
