Liverpool, for the first time in a month, has rediscovered its scoring touch. In the Champions League group stage on Wednesday, Liverpool crushed Red Star Belgrade 4-0, securing three expected and important points in the competition. Aided by the draw between PSG and Napoli, the Reds are now top of their group with six points, one ahead of the Italian side. Mohamed Salah scored twice in this one, but it was Liverpool's consistent Brazilian who got the winner:

He also scored a penalty kick, and Sadio Mane made it 4-0 for the Reds 80 minutes in, sending the visitors packing after quite the beating. It's a much-needed result for Jurgen Klopp's team, setting themselves up nicely with a trip to Red Star on Matchday 4 in early November.
