Liverpool secured a spot in the Europa League knockout phase by defeating LASK 4-0, confirming their status as group winners.
Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo scored early goals, with Mohamed Salah adding a second-half penalty—his 199th goal for the club. Gakpo sealed the victory in added time.
Liverpool’s dominant group stage performance, earning a club-record 12 points, helped them avoid a round-of-32 play-off. The Reds’ 100% home record continued, extending to 10 games, and they’ve conceded only four times while scoring 31 in front of their fans.
The weakened LASK side couldn’t challenge Liverpool’s superiority. The Reds’ strategy of aiming for Salah’s milestone paid off, with the Egyptian star scoring in the second half.
