Liverpool vs Union Saint-Gilloise LIVE: Europa League result and final score as Diogo Jota goal seals win
In a Europa League match between Liverpool and Union Saint-Gilloise, Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory to maintain their 100% record in Group E.
Ryan Gravenberch scored his first goal for Liverpool after Union Saint-Gilloise goalkeeper Anthony Moris made an error just before half-time.
This crucial breakthrough came from Gravenberch, a 21-year-old midfielder who had only scored nine goals in five years and not from Liverpool's star attackers like Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota, who have a combined total of 248 goals.
Although two of Liverpool's front three were substituted at halftime, it was part of the plan rather than a reflection of their first-half performance.
Liverpool had multiple chances to score more goals, and Jota eventually sealed the win with a breakaway goal in added time.
Liverpool now tops Group E with six points and is in a strong position to advance.
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's manager, noted that there were aspects to learn from the game despite the win and emphasized the importance of maintaining rhythm in their play.
The victory allowed Liverpool to return to normality in the Europa League after a controversial defeat to Tottenham in their previous match.
