Liverpool Top Champions League Table<\/h2>\n

After the first round of games in matchday four, Liverpool have topped the Champions League<\/a> group stage table making it four wins from four on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The first half was a nervy period between two sides that wanted to avoid conceding early at all costs and as a result, the teams headed into the tunnel at half time with the score level at 0-0.<\/p>\n

Jeremie Frimpong did have the ball in the back of the Liverpool net just before half time, but the Dutchman’s finish was rightfully ruled out for a handball earlier in the play.<\/p>\n

Although the score was level at half time, there was no denying the eventual winners as Liverpool<\/a> ran rampant in the second half, putting four past their German opposition.<\/p>\n

Luis Diaz scored his first of the game just after the hour mark, with the Colombian lifting a cheeky chip over Lukas Hradecky to send Anfield into hysterics.<\/p>\n

It didn’t take long after they scored their first for the Reds to double their advantage, as Cody Gakpo headed home a Mohamed Salah cross at the back post to put the hosts in a commanding position with half an hour to play.<\/p>\n

Salah got another assist for Liverpool’s third as he whipped in a similar ball to the back post, where this time Diaz was lurking to score his second of the game and put the Reds out of sight.<\/p>\n

Diaz managed to put the icing on the cake in the final seconds of the game, as the forward completed his second half hat-trick with virtually the final kick of the game to give Liverpool a deserved 4-0 win.<\/p>\n

After winning their fourth Champions League match in a row this season, Liverpool are now 6\/1 to win the competition according to the best football betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n
