Liverpool have sealed top spot in their Europa League group following a 4-0 win over LASK at Anfield on Thursday night.
Toulouse’s defeat at Union St-Gilloise, along with Liverpool’s victory, guarantees that the Reds will always lead Group E.
Liverpool, whose young players performed admirably in the game, put on a nearly faultless display.
For instance, Harvey Elliott delivered an impressive display, once again showing why he’s one of England’s most exciting young players.
As per Whoscored, the 20-year-old weighed in with four shots, two of which were on target, and made 3 key passes.

Elliott also completed one dribble, whipped 6 crosses, 6 long balls in and 6 Recoveries and made one tackle in the match.
The youngster was one of three players who got an 8 out of 10 from the Liverpool Echo on the night.
“Busy and effective on the right of midfield three, picking up a lot of loose balls and fired one free-kick wide and forced good Lawal save,” they wrote. “Fine display.”
Elliott has made some huge strides this season and it’s exciting to think how much he can develop further as he gains more experience in the training ground and on the pitch.
Former England star Joe Cole feels Elliott has completely transformed after the Red Brigade eliminated a number of names in the summer of 2023.
He said: “Elliott and Jones played well in Liverpool’s 4-0 win over LASK.
“They’ve worked hard, they’ve made the most of their opportunities. Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, they’re improving. Liverpool lost big names like Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and James Milner, which gave Elliott and Jones a chance to step up, and they’re doing very well.”
