The defender had possession 25 yards out in the second period and, despite having better options available, opted to shoot from distance with his effort doing little to help Liverpool’s cause. Klopp lamented Gomez and appeared furious on the touchline as he showed his emotions on what was an underwhelming night on Merseyside. Liverpool were the favourites to claim the Europa League before the game, but now face a mammoth task in overturning the deficit when they head to Italy for the return leg. He finished smartly for both goals, scoring his second as the Liverpool defence failed to spot his run, leaving him with an alarming amount of space in the box.

Too many individual mistakes and we got punished for it. I think with the man marking system they do we have to do much better, keep the ball longer, they won all the 50-50s and the spaces were too open. However this time they won’t have the advantage of Anfield and will need to produce a huge performance in Bergamo next week. *Join our new WhatsApp community* *and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
