Transcript
00:00Full-time here at Anfield and would you have guessed that another late goal will go on Liverpool's way.
00:06The fifth time in all competitive games this season they've been left at Leeds to secure a victory and a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid.
00:14In the Champions League they raised the curtain successfully in this season's competition but well, 97 minutes.
00:23It's all I think Liverpool fans have been leading games with time to dig deep yet again and they threw away a two-goal lead yet again this season for their time but they went to the well once again.
00:39The pool went two goals ahead within six minutes.
00:42The open-scoring inside for four minutes rather fortuitously.
00:45Mo Salah's free kick ricocheted off Andy Robertson who was trying to put off the keeper Jan Oblak and ended up the ball deflecting and leaving the atletico goalkeeper stranded.
00:59But there was nothing lucky about Liverpool's second goal in six minutes.
01:03Mo Salah's coming for a little bit of scrutiny so far this season.
01:06He hasn't been at quite his best but he was magnificent tonight and scored a great goal.
01:10He's played at 1-2 with Ryan Crabbe who was excellent particularly in the first half and slotted past Jan Oblak.
01:17Liverpool, he continues to prove that he's handed his debut of the long-running side that lasted throughout the summer.
01:25Finally he was deemed fit enough.
01:27He has a couple of chances.
01:29Linked well with Florian Verts in the first half.
01:32Both of them really came to the fore towards the end of the first half.
01:36But Liverpool conceded late in the first half.
01:40Marcus Llorente getting atletico back into the game.
01:43And Liverpool should have put the game to bed in the second period but he couldn't find that third goal most of all.
01:49Crashing an effort against the post he should have put that away.
01:51A sweetened counter-attack that should have been punished.
01:54Liverpool ended up being punished themselves through a number to Fletcher-Lorente goal.
02:01This time coming off Fletcher-McAllister trying to block the shot.
02:04And Liverpool do it again.
02:06Surely this run is going to come to an end.
02:0990 second minute.
02:11Virgil van Dijk, the captain, powering home ahead of towering header above the athletic coach at Venston to send it.
02:18I mean, is the state sustainable late goals?
02:22No.
02:23It shows the mentality of the squad but they've really got to start wrapping up wins.
02:26They should have comfortably had that sewn up tonight.
02:31But a big win.
02:33And now that all eyes are on the Merseyside derby against Edmonton should be another crack in atmosphere at Anfield against Liverpool's City rivals.
02:42But they've got to be cutting games to vent because Edmonton is dangerous on the counter-attack on the likes of Nielish and Ndai.
02:50But, you know, Liverpool fans are in for a rollercoaster so far and it looks like it's set to continue.
02:59They've finished Liverpool 3, West Colborne 2.
