LIVERPOOL won their first Champions League match in the post-Jurgen Klopp era in dominant fashion.
The Reds defeated AC Milan 3-1 at the San Siro with new boss Arne Slot at the helm just three days after his first defeat as manager of the Reds at the hands of Nottingham Forest.
However, Slot’s players rallied up to shake that unexpected Forest loss with a strong display in Milan despite Christian Pulisic’s early opener.
Ex-Chelsea star Pulisic broke the deadlock after just three minutes following some careless Liverpool defending that left immense space down the right for the winger to exploit and beat Alisson.
However, the visitors equalised 20 minutes later with Ibrahima Konate and turned the game around four minutes before half-time with Virgil van Dijk’s header, which brought back memories of last season’s Carabao Cup winner from Kostas Tsimikas’ corner-kick.
Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the win on 67 minutes and earned Liverpool their first three points in the league phase.
