Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has stressed the importance of guaranteeing a top-eight Champions League finish after their 3-0 victory in Marseille made it all the more likely.

For only the second time this season Slot’s side beat a top-tier side by three goals – Eintracht Frankfurt the other back in October – courtesy of a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, an own goal from Geronimo Rulli and a late Cody Gakpo strike.
