Hugo Ekitike scored against his former club as Liverpool brought to an end their losing run by fighting back from a goal down to thrash Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.
The Reds’ form had took a concerning dip with four successive losses, including to rivals Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.
It looked like that poor run of form would continue as they made a stumbling start in Germany and fell behind when ex-Leeds defender Rasmus Kristensen struck.
Liverpool turned things around as Ekitike – starting alongside British-record signing Alexander Isak for the first time – equalised 10 minutes before the break.
Virgil van Dijk added a second four minutes later, powering home a header from a corner before Ibrahima Konate made it 3-1 a minute before half-time as he also headed in a corner.
Cody Gakpo got his fourth of the season when he fired in from Florian Wirtz’s square ball before Dominik Szoboszlai’s long-distance drive wrapped up the win, with Wirtz once again providing the assist.
