Jürgen Klopp’s men therefore set a blistering pace in the section with a maximum nine points, five clear of both their opponents on Tuesday night and AFC Ajax.

The latter claimed their first victory in the group on the evening with a 2-1 result against FC Midtjylland in Herning.

There will be now a pause in the Champions League before the action resumes on November 25, when Liverpool will welcome Atalanta to Anfield and Ajax host Midtjylland.

Victory on matchday four would guarantee the Reds a place in the last 16.
