Match report: Liverpool defeated LASK 4-0 to advance to the Europa League last-16 stage. Goals from Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo came within the first 15 minutes, and Mohamed Salah’s 199th Liverpool goal sealed the victory. Gakpo added a fourth goal for Liverpool in injury time.

Liverpool’s front three stood out in their 4-0 victory over LASK at Anfield, securing their spot in the Europa League knockout stages as Group E winners.

The Reds, who have won 10 of their 10 games at Anfield this season, took the lead early on thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo. Mohamed Salah’s second-half penalty, his 199th goal for Liverpool, made it 3-0 after the interval.

Salah was substituted soon after scoring, so when his team plays Fulham on Sunday afternoon, he will have the opportunity to record a double century of goals for the team. Gakpo had time to score a fourth goal in injury time following an incredible pass from replacement Trent.

Due to Toulouse’s draw with Union Saint-Gilloise, Jurgen Klopp’s team has secured top spot in Group E and advanced directly to the last-16 round, bypassing a play-off in February for finishing in second place. Liverpool has one game remaining to qualify.

How Liverpool maintained their perfect record at Anfield
Liverpool lost their most recent match against Toulouse, which cost them the opportunity to top their Europa League group, but they didn’t take long to secure this outcome early on.

But after the break, the Egyptian showed he was not going to be denied when Lawal brought down Gakpo in the box, giving him a chance from the penalty spot. Salah scored his penalty by putting it in the corner, with L

With the match decided, Klopp took Salah off the field right away, and in the minutes that followed, Darwin Nunez, who had replaced him, had multiple opportunities.

Lawal well-stopped the Uruguayan’s close-range attempt and also made a nice save to deny the outstanding Elliott.

On the other side, in his only two noteworthy moments, Caoimhin Kelleher, who will be filling in for the injured Alisson in the Premier League over the next few weeks, made a good save against Usor and LASK substitute Ibrahim Mustapha.

After Alexander-Arnold’s incredible late pass, Gakpo finished inside the box to cap off an excellent evening.

It is good that the most important thing is at the top of the group and that it will not change.

There were many things I liked, as well as some things I didn’t care for. We still need to develop and grow, as I often say.

However, this game ought to have ended before halftime. Take control of the game and kill it if you’re in front of it. That is not what we did. It was great to have a three-point lead. After that, we let them have some more opportunities. It’s amazing to win 4-nil.

“Union had a lot riding on this [the final Europa League group match], but if they win and Toulouse loses, they advance. Thus, we must travel there to.

Harvey Elliott is on the verge of starting for Liverpool.
In Liverpool’s three-man midfield, there seems to be only one spot available. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, the recent additions, have their spots reserved; why is Harvey Elliott unable to take the other?

Seeing him play against LASK makes you wonder why, under Jurgen Klopp, the midfielder has not started more games in the Premier League. Elliot has only been substituted once since August.

Elliott finished the game with the most final-third passes completed, and he created more chances than any other player against the Austrian team on Thursday night.

The 20-year-old made Liverpool’s right flank unplayable, giving Mohamed Salah more attacking potential. He also gave the impression that Joe Gomez, a makeshift right back who tied Elliott for most chances created against LASK, was a threat.

Yes, this was just LASK; by playing so aggressively against Klopp’s team, they allowed Elliott the time and space to harm their defense. However, the midfield player for Liverpool has demonstrated his talent in more games than just this Europa League match.

He has five goals and two assists in five England U21 qualifying games, but there have also been the elegant, late assists away at Luton and Wolves. Elliott is undoubtedly at the door.

What comes next?
Sunday’s Premier League match between Liverpool and Fulham kicks off at 2:00 p.m. The highlights of this match will be available on Sky Sports’ digital platforms first; they will be released soon after full time.

On Thursday, December 14, at 5:45 p.m., Jurgen Klopp’s team plays Union Saint-Gilloise away to wrap up their Europa League group stage campaign.
