Curtis Jones’ first goal since Boxing Day 2024, another Dominik Szoboszlai special and a Mohamed Salah penalty saw Liverpool progress.

The Reds will try to pick themselves up against Sunderland on Wednesday following defeat by Manchester City.

Dominik Szoboszlai set the ball rolling for Arne Slot’s team in Wednesday’s Champions League match.

The forward is in the mix for his first appearance since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations with his future at the club uncertain.

The Egypt forward left for the tournament in Morocco a month ago with his future seemingly up in the air.

Szoboszlai hit the crossbar with a penalty in the 1-1 draw against Burnley on Saturday, five days after he gifted Barnsley a goal with a backheel.

The Hungary international attempted a crazy backheel to goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili inside his own six-yard area as Adam Phillips tapped home.

Letting opponents back into games has been a common theme this season and Robertson said that is something which has to be stopped.

Szoboszlai showed a reckless arrogance with his attempted backheel inside his own six-yard area as the Reds eventually ran out 4-1 winners at Anfield.

The France international struck the crucial blow which got his new team back into the match after they had conceded for the eighth game in a row.

The Portugal forward died along with his younger brother Andre Silva in the accident in Zamora in Spain in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The 23-year-old Hungary captain has made an impressive start to life with Liverpool.
