In the second match, Liverpool faced Milan at Anfield. Two compatriots started: Alexis Saelemakers was in the starting line-up with the visitors as expected, but especially Divock Origi’s selection for the Reds was a small surprise. The 26-year-old striker hasn’t earned a single minute in four Premier League games this season, but now coach Klopp has been allowed to start from the start. Origi missed his first chance in the match but Trent Alexander-Arnold quickly gave England the lead. Salah had the opportunity to double the score with a penalty moments later, but he missed the penalty. That miss will be Liverpool Acid break: Ante Rebic equalized just before the break and a minute later, Diaz fired the Italian’s second goal into the ropes net. What a transformation! The Italian joy did not last long. Salah equalized immediately after the end of the first half and compensated for a missed penalty kick. Impeccable assistance was from Divock Origi but the former Red Devil had to leave the field injured after the hour. Liverpool smelled victory and were rewarded with a winning goal from captain Jordan Henderson: 3-2.
