‘Rarely seen’ – Romelu Lukaku blown away by three Liverpool players

Their attack, in particular, has fired on all cylinders in Europe, with new signing Bradley Barcola even scoring a European hat-trick against LASK last month.

As for Liverpool, their attackers have been in fine form this season and will aim to secure another win in Europe that will take them a step closer to automatic qualification to the Round of 16.
