Champions League: Liverpool Smash Eintracht Frankfurt 5–1 Away to End Losing Streak
Liverpool roared back to form in Germany last night, thrashing Eintracht Frankfurt 5–1 in their UEFA Champions League group stage clash.
It was a stunning performance from Arne Slot’s men, who came from behind to deliver a dominant second-half display and end their recent run of poor results in style.
Frankfurt opened the scoring through Rasmus Kristensen in the 26th minute, but Hugo Ekitike equalised against his former club nine minutes later. The Reds then took control before half-time, with powerful headers from Virgil van Dijk (39’) and Ibrahima Konaté (44’) making it 3–1.
Liverpool’s attack kept pushing after the break — Cody Gakpo (66’) and Dominik Szoboszlai (70’) both found the net to seal a memorable 5–1 victory.
