Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would’ve been delighted to see his side qualify from UEFA Champions League Group B with two games to spare.
The Reds were at their dominant best at Anfield as two goals inside the opening 25 minutes saw Klopp’s men take complete control.
On a night when Liverpool were simply too much for Atletico Madrid to handle, Twitter account The Anfield Buzz highlighted the pick of the performers.
Deputising in the midfield amidst a host of injuries, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain shrugged off a difficult outing against Brighton & Hove Albion to drive the Reds forward on multiple occasions.
Described as ‘fabulous’ by Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport, Trent Alexander-Arnold was also in line for recognition.
Lastly, albeit a cameo performance, the back to fitness Thiago had time to show Kopites just what they had been missing in the Spaniard’s absence.

What a night and what a European campaign so far.
Qualification with two matchday’s left allows Klopp unexpected flexibility and the German will likely field heavily rotated sides for the final two fixtures.
In truth, Liverpool were superior all over the pitch as the reigning La Liga champions struggled to contain the hosts at any stage.
