A brief VAR review saw the referee point to the spot and hand Liverpool a late opportunity to snatch maximum points. With Mohamed Salah out of the squad, it was Dominik Szoboszlai who stepped up to take spot-kick — dispatching it with the authority of a seasoned penalty taker under the pressure of a jeering home crowd.

Liverpool brushed off the absence of Mohamed Salah with a 1-0 Champions League victory over Inter Milan in San Siro on Tuesday.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs. Inter (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Ekitiké; Isak.
