"Liverpool's dismal run scaled new depths as they slumped to a humiliating 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSV at Anfield. PSV beat Liverpool on the final day of the league phase last season, but by that stage, the Reds had already wrapped up top spot in the table. Yet this time around, Liverpool sit 13th in the standings after another wounding home defeat."
"Wednesday's contest started badly for Arne Slot's beleaguered team, who have now lost three straight games, conceding three goals in each of those defeats, when Virgil van Dijk inexplicably handled from a corner, paving the way for Ivan Perisic to put PSV ahead from the penalty spot six minutes in. Dominik Szoboszlai restored parity 10 minutes later when he slotted into a gaping net on the rebound from a saved Cody Gakpo attempt, bringing up Liverpool's 500th European Cup/Champions League goal in the process."
"Mauro Junior strode in unchallenged from the left wing and supplied a neat cross from which Guus Til prodded in his first Champions League goal in the 56th minute. PSV's advantage was doubled 17 minutes later as the visitors capitalised on more shambolic defending, with Ibrahima Konate caught out. Ricardo Pepi struck the post, but Couhaib Driouech was on hand to tuck in."
Liverpool slumped to a 4-1 defeat by PSV at Anfield, leaving the club 13th in the Champions League group standings after another damaging home loss. Virgil van Dijk's handball from a corner conceded an early penalty converted by Ivan Perisic. Dominik Szoboszlai equalised from a rebound to score Liverpool's 500th European Cup/Champions League goal. PSV regained the lead when Mauro Junior crossed for Guus Til's 56th-minute strike. Defensive errors allowed Couhaib Driouech to score after Ricardo Pepi hit the post, and Driouech added a late goal to complete the visitors' victory. The result continued a run of nine defeats in 12 games.
