October 27, (THEWILL) – Liverpool sailed to a commanding 5-1 victory over Toulouse in their UEFA Europa League clash at Anfield on Thursday night. The result leaves Jurgen Klopp’s men five points clear at the top of Group E after three matches.
Diogo Jota continued his prolific form in Europe by opening the scoring early on for the hosts. But Thijs Dallinga briefly drew Toulouse level, before summer signing Wataru Endo grabbed his first Liverpool goal to restore the lead. Darwin Nunez then added a third before half-time to give the Reds a commanding advantage at the break.
After the interval, Ryan Gravenberch tucked away the fourth after Nunez had struck the post. There was also a late goal for substitute Mohamed Salah, wrapping up a comfortable win for Liverpool.
Manager Jurgen Klopp made several changes from the weekend’s derby success over Everton. Still, his rotated side had too much quality for their French opponents.
The result provides a boost for Liverpool, who sit three points off the Premier League summit, as they enter a hectic run of fixtures. The commanding performance highlighted the squad depth available to Klopp across competitions this season.
