#EuropaLeague: Cocky Liverpool stunned at Anfield by Atalanta

Date:

Liverpool face an uphill task to stay in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League after a shock 3-0 home defeat to Atalanta on Thursday night.

Gianluca Scamcca broke the deadlock after the Reds’ goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher’s howler, allowed the Italian’s low shot to pass under his arm after Darwin Nunez had missed a couple of good chances.

Jurgen Klopp’s shocking decision to start Mohammed Salah from the bench nearly paid off after his strike forced a good save from Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso in the second half and also had a goal disallowed for offside.

The former West Ham forward doubled his and Atalanta’s lead after being left unmarked on the hour mark, before Mario Pasalic rounded things off for the Serie A side at Anfield against Liverpool.

The bewildering look on Jurgen Klopp was a sight to behold for opposing fans as his side were comfortably beaten at home.
