"The Reds made the trip to San Siro with the build-up dominated by the absence of Salah, left at home by Arne Slot following comments he made in the wake of their 3-3 draw at Leeds United last Saturday. Liverpool's record Premier League goalscorer claimed he had been "thrown under the bus" after being left on the bench for three successive matches and suggested he no longer had a relationship with Slot."
"Yet Liverpool were impressively resolute in a performance that was the antithesis of some of their recent defensive showings in the Premier League, though their winner came in fortuitous circumstances. Referee Felix Zwayer was for the second time sent to the pitchside monitor after Alessandro Bastoni's seemingly innocuous shirt pull on Florian Wirtz, and he pointed to the spot to allow Szoboszlai to seal the points with an emphatic penalty."
Liverpool won 1-0 at Inter Milan thanks to a late penalty converted by Dominik Szoboszlai. Mohamed Salah was left at home by manager Arne Slot after public comments and being benched for three matches. Liverpool displayed defensive resilience and created chances early, with saves from Yann Sommer and injuries to Inter's Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi. Ibrahima Konate had a headed goal disallowed for handball following a VAR review. The decisive penalty was awarded after referee Felix Zwayer reviewed an Alessandro Bastoni shirt pull on Florian Wirtz. Liverpool sit on 12 points and are well placed to advance from the group.
