- Ryan Gravenberch, returning from an ankle injury, doubled the lead with a deflected strike after running onto Alexis Mac Allister’s pass.
- Arne Slot recalibrated his lineup, starting Dominik Szoboszlai over Florian Wirtz and restoring Andy Robertson, which fueled a higher press.
- Giorgi Mamardashvili made key early saves as Liverpool recorded their first clean sheet in 11 matches and climbed to third in the table.
- Slot said luck finally turned and noted improved set‑piece defending, as fans chanted his name and Steven Gerrard dismissed sack talk on TV.
