Liverpool boss Arne Slot will have been overjoyed that his side took a 3-1 lead over Eintracht Frankfurt in Wednesday’s Champions League clash – but he’ll have twice the dilemma to think about on his return to England.

That sinking feeling would have repeated itself when full-back Rasmus Kristensen opened the scoring at the Deutsche Bank Park, but a nine-minute trio of goals gave the Reds a commanding lead by the interval, before another two in the second half handed them their biggest win of the campaign.

Liverpool’s equaliser was one full of incisiveness. Already a goal down, Robertson’s quick thinking set Ekitike bearing down on goal, outpacing Robin Koch and sliding the ball into the net in the blink of an eye.

It’s obviously a positive aspect for Liverpool...
