Liverpool remained perfect in the Champions League league phase with a win over Lille at home.

Mohamed Salah opened the scoring for the Reds in the 34th minute and nearly had a second as the Egyptian continues to prove invaluable for Arne Slot. Lille's Aissa Mandi was sent off in the second half, but they still found a way to equalize in the 62nd minute through Canada's Jonathan David. It proved to be just five minutes of hope as Harvey Elliott scored to put the home side back in front.

Liverpool cruised from there and secured not only the win, but a direct berth to the round of 16 in the Champions League. Skipping the first round of the knockout stage will give the Reds time to regroup and focus on maintaining their pace in the Premier League amid challengers.

Player ratings from the Reds' seventh league phase win out of seven matches below.
