Liverpool locked horns with AC Milan at San Siro earlier tonight as they looked to secure a victory on the road in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the third minute when Christian Pulisic found the back of the net. However, Liverpool equalised thanks to Ibrahima Konate’s header in the 23rd minute. Virgil Van Dijk gave his team the lead in the 41st minute as Arne Slot’s men went into the half-time break 2-1 up on the scoreline.
Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s third goal with a good finish in the 67th minute as the Merseyside giants earned an impressive 3-1 victory away from home.
