Liverpool sink Leipzig to continue strong start under Slot

LEIPZIG, OCT 24: A 27th minute tap-in from Darwin Nunez took Liverpool to a controlled 1-0 win at RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday, continuing their excellent start under new coach Arne Slot.

Liverpool broke through some early Leipzig pressure just before the half-hour mark when Mohamed Salah hit a perfect header across his body. 

Nunez sprang forward to prod home the goal-bound ball, grabbing his first Champions League goal since February 2023. 
Despite a late Leipzig flurry, Liverpool again showed the control and resilience that has taken them to the top of the Premier League table just days out from Sunday's clash at Arsenal. 

"We're really happy for the win. We played a difficult away game. We controlled the game in large parts apart from the last few minutes," said Slot.     —AFP
