Arne Slot urges Liverpool to take dominant European form into domestic campaign

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was delighted to have qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League but even he admitted the 6-0 thrashing of Qarabag was unlikely to quell the noise surrounding their domestic form.

Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister scored twice and there were goals for Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Mohamed Salah – his first for the club since November 1 – and Federico Chiesa in a romp at Anfield which saw them secure third place in the table and avoid the play-off round.
