After a goalless first half, Liverpool leapt into the ascendancy early in the second thanks to Alexis Mac Allister's strike in the 52nd minute, putting Slot's side in control. It looked for all the world that Kylian Mbappe would level the scoreboard after Andrew Robertson was penalised for fouling Lucas Vazquez inside the penalty area, but the Frenchman's spot-kick was superbly denied by Caoimhin Kelleher between the sticks.

Mohamed Salah missed a penalty he won himself later in the second to set up a nervy finished at Anfield, until substitute Cody Gakpo gave Liverpool the cushion of a second goal in the 76th minute. The victory keeps Liverpool at the summit of the Champions League group table, two points ahead of Inter Milan having won five in five under Slot.
