Liverpool have continued their fine form with an impressive win against Bayer Leverkusen.
Returning to Anfield for the first time as a manager, former midfielder Xabi Alonso travelled to Merseyside with his Bayer Leverkusen squad looking to pull off an upset.
Another top-class performance from the home team made it virtually impossible for Alonso’s side to get into the game though.
Despite failing to score in the first half, Liverpool piled the pressure on in the second 45 minutes and ended up running out deserving 4-0 winners.
Luis Diaz netted a hat-trick with Cody Gakpo scoring the other. It was Diaz’s first that his manager loved the most though.
Finding himself in a one-on-one situation, the Columbia international calmly chipped the ball beyond opposition goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.
Slot loved the winger’s composure. The Dutchman, who was stood inside the Anfield technical area, was caught on camera giving a superb reaction to Diaz’s opening goal.
