"Liverpool and Arne Slot continue to find their release on European soil. What had been billed as an intimidating, intense examination of the faltering Premier League champions by Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille proved nothing of the sort as Slot's side moved confidently towards automatic qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League. Dominik Szoboszlai, an own goal forced by Jeremie Frimpong and the substitute Cody Gakpo brought Liverpool a merited victory in the south of France"
"The margin of victory could have been even greater but, having struggled to turn possession into chances and chances into wins of late, the Liverpool head coach will take satisfaction from a comprehensive triumph all the same. Liverpool made a confident start at the passionate Stade Velodrome, where the noise started cranking up an hour and a half before kick-off"
Arne Slot's Liverpool secured a convincing away win at Marseille, moving closer to automatic qualification for the Champions League last 16. Dominik Szoboszlai scored, Jeremie Frimpong forced an own goal, and substitute Cody Gakpo added a goal to seal a deserved victory. Slot selected a midfield diamond and reinstated Mohamed Salah to the starting lineup after his return from the Africa Cup of Nations. The Stade Velodrome generated a raucous atmosphere well before kick-off, and both teams wore black armbands to honour Rolland Courbis. Slot's side have now won nine of 11 European away matches under his management.
