Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool live: Arne Slot’s side stop the rot with Champions League thrashing

Liverpool are back to winning ways and in good time too - because in just a couple short weeks, they’ll be playing host to Real Madrid.

Anfield will be an absolute cauldron that night. We can’t look forward to it enough.

For now, Liverpool can enjoy that victorious feeling. It’s been a minute.

"I think it was good,” he told TNT Sports. “We can improve together and he is a very good player, we need to work together and find a good association.

"I have very good team mates, staff and I love my life here. I hope I can keep going because it's about consistency in football. I feel really good and they have helped me a lot, that is why I am calm and doing my thing."

It wasn’t quite the 43 goals that were scored last night - but it was still an eventful Wednesday evening in the Champions League. Here are the scores on the doors:

Athletic Club 3-1 Qarabag

Galatasaray 3-1 Bodo/Glimt

Atalanta 0-0 Slavia Prague

Bayern Munich 4-0 Club Brugge

Chelsea 5-1 Ajax

Eintracht Frankfurt 1-5 Liverpool

Monaco 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur

Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus

Sporting CP 2-1 Marseille

Florian Wirtz had gone 10 games without a goal or an assist for Liverpool - tonight, he bagged two in four minutes.

How Arne Slot will hope that triggers the German to rediscover his Bundesliga form of old...

"I don't know if it's a statement but it is a win and something to build on,” Van Dijk told TNT Sports.

"I've been in the football business for a while, so not relief. Obviously we are disappointed with losing games, so it's something we have to deal with, stick together and keep working.

"Today we won and have to be ready for Brentford on Saturday. We don't get dragged into the negative things that are going around. The only way you can play your game is to focus on the task ahead. Keep going, don't get dragged into all that stuff."

Hugo Ekitike scored on his return to Eintracht Frankfurt as Liverpool ended their four-match losing streak with a confident 5-1 Champions League comeback victory in Germany.

The France international, who scored 26 times in 64 matches for the Bundesliga side before a £69m summer move, struck the crucial blow which got his new team back into the match after they had conceded for the eighth game in a row.

He outshone British record signing Alexander Isak, who still looks short of sharpness, with the duo paired together for the first time as head coach Arne Slot opted for something different in an attempt to change their fortunes.

Full report:

Alexander Isak was substituted at half-time was due to a groin problem.

“He had to go off at half-time because he felt his groin a little bit,” he said. “We’ve said it many times that it’s such a difficult balance to find with a player who was out for three months.

“You bring him slowly, people argue if you can or can’t play him more, and now we’ve played him for the second time in three days and he had to go off so let’s hope for the best.

“It’s not an easy balance to find.”

Before kick-off, there was the serious possibility that Liverpool would lose five games in a row for the first time since 1953. That record stays in tact.

However, Eintracht have now developed a streak of their own. Tonight’s result means they have been involved in three consecutive 5-1 results in the Champions League this season.

That’s made up of two losses to Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, as well as a win over Galatasaray on opening night.
