Arne Slot had superb reaction to Luis Diaz opener against Leverkusen

Liverpool have continued their fine form with an impressive win against Bayer Leverkusen.

Returning to Anfield for the first time as a manager, former midfielder Xabi Alonso travelled to Merseyside with his Bayer Leverkusen squad looking to pull off an upset.

Another top-class performance from the home team made it virtually impossible for Alonso’s side to get into the game though.

Despite failing to score in the first half, Liverpool piled the pressure on in the second 45 minutes and ended up running out deserving 4-0 winners.

Arne Slot loved Luis Diaz’s first goal against Bayer Leverkusen

Luis Diaz netted a hat-trick with Cody Gakpo scoring the other. It was Diaz’s first that his manager loved the most though.

“He tried to blame someone else!” — Tim Sherwood was NOT happy with what this Aston Villa star  did against Spurs.

Finding himself in a one-on-one situation, the Columbia international calmly chipped the ball beyond opposition goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.
