"Liverpool swept aside Olympique de Marseille with a 3-0 away victory to extend their unbeaten run to 13 matches in all competitions and move a step closer to direct qualification for the Champions League last 16. Goals on Wednesday from Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo, either side of a Geronimo Rulli own goal, lifted Arne Slot's team to 15 points, leaving them well placed in the top eight ahead of the final round of matches."
"It's always difficult to play against [Roberto] De Zerbi teams because if you aren't front-footed, they can play out pretty easy, said Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who made his 350th appearance for the club. They keep on playing and taking a risk, so if you win the ball between the lines, then you have a chance. I'm pleased with the team, everybody put a shift in,"
