"The hosts took the lead on 42 minutes against the run of play. Lucas Digne found Rogers in space on the left-hand side of the box and the forward curled it into the far corner. Liverpool levelled on 52 minutes when Van Dijk headed home at the back post from Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick, before 17-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha struck the bas"
