October 23, (THEWILL) — Liverpool emphatically ended their four-match losing streak with a 5–1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League encounter.

The early setback threatened to extend Liverpool’s miserable run, yet the visitors responded with remarkable speed.
Three goals in nine minutes before the interval transformed the contest. Hugo Ekitiké scored against his former club, then Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté both converted headers from corner kicks.
The Premier League champions held a 3–1 advantage at the break.
Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai added further goals in the second half, both assisted by Florian Wirtz. The comprehensive win lifted pressure on the defending English champions.
Liverpool claimed their second UCL victory of the campaign. The result in Germany marked a significant turnaround for the Anfield side following recent struggles across all competitions.
