In their UEFA Europa League match against Sparta Prague at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp’s Reds secured a comfortable 6-1 victory, solidifying their place in the quarter-finals. Despite already holding a 5-1 advantage from the first leg, Liverpool fielded a strong starting XI, showing their determination to dominate the game.
Right from the start, Liverpool wasted no time in extending their lead. Within the first 14 minutes of the match, they scored four goals, courtesy of Darwin Nunez, Bobby Clark, Salah, and Cody Gakpo.

However, Liverpool quickly responded in the second half with Dominik Szoboszlai’s deflected shot, adding a fifth goal to their tally. Gakpo then secured his second goal of the night with an opportunistic flick, further solidifying Liverpool’s dominance.
