"The 33-year-old had just put Liverpool 2-0 up in their UEFA Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid, having provided Andy Robertson with the assist for his team's first goal only minutes earlier. On a night when British-record signing Alexander Isak made his Liverpool debut, the Reds' Egyptian King showed he has no intention of abdicating his throne just yet,"
"By the time the final whistle blew, it was another member of Liverpool's old guard -- captain Virgil van Dijk -- who had made himself the hero, scoring the winning goal in the 92nd minute after Atletico had drawn level through two goals from Marcos Llorente. The Dutchman's thumping header in front of the Kop continued Liverpool's staggering trend of claiming miraculous late victories, with all five of their competitive games this season having come with game winners in the final 10 minutes."
