21 mins: CLOSE! Oh that is almost vintage Mohamed Salah! He takes down a crossfield pass and drives inside and past Galan. There’s only one thought on his mind as he whips a shot towards the far post. Oblak is beaten and at full stretch, but it bends wide.
Salah’s had a slow start to the season but he looks on it tonight.

20 mins: Diogo Jota’s name rings around Anfield as we reach the 20th minute. The Portuguese also had two years at Atletico Madrid, but he spent them at Porto and Wolves on loan.

An impressively bad goal – a poor free kick from Salah that Robertson tried to get out of the way of – followed by a rather better one. But after Salah’s slow start to the season, he now has a goal and an assist inside six minutes.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Atletico Madrid (ROBERTSON 4′)
What a start! Robertson scores on his first start of the season, not that he knew too much about it. Salah went under the wall and the Scotland captain, who was standing offside, only to jump onside as Salah took the kick, finds he is in the way to nudge the ball past Oblak!
