Overview
- Alexis Mac Allister’s 61st‑minute header secured a 1-0 Champions League win at Anfield.
- Conor Bradley effectively nullified Vinícius Júnior and drew “outstanding” praise from head coach Arne Slot.
- Liverpool dominated the chances, with Thibaut Courtois making a string of saves that kept the scoreline tight.
- Trent Alexander‑Arnold was booed throughout his late cameo after pre‑match mural vandalism, then received a post‑game hug and public backing from Slot.
- With Jeremie Frimpong injured, Bradley’s performance strengthened his case for more starts, as pundits also condemned Vinícius’s theatrics.
