Liverpool took their second Champions League victory this season when they defeated Genk by 3-0. Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave the Englishmen a dream start when he placed the lead goal already in the second minute. After that, the Belgians created several chances and also had a ball inside the 27th minute, but after VAR examination it was sent off for offside.

Instead it was Liverpool who would rejoice when Oxlade-Chamberlain just put on the right foot and with the outside nicely placed the ball via the bar and in.

In the 77th minute Sadio Mané put the nail in the coffin as he chipped in 3-0 in the 77th minute. With three minutes left of regular time, comebacking Mohamed Salah made it 4-0. Genk got a consolation goal via Stephen Odey, but the match ended 4-1 to Liverpool.
