Despite their early struggles, Liverpool did manage to create a notable chance when Nunez’s header forced Lawal to make an outstanding reflex save.
Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, inspired his team during halftime, making tactical adjustments and introducing Mo Salah.
The impact was immediate, as Nunez converted a penalty after Diaz was fouled, leveling the score.
Colombian talent Diaz then put Liverpool ahead with a superb team play. In the late stages of the game, Salah, coming off the bench, secured all three points by slipping the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs from a tight angle.
In a stunning display of determination, Mohamed Salah notched Liverpool’s third goal, easily nutmegging the goalkeeper.
