Vinaldom put Liverpool first on the scoreboard in the 9th minute, setting 0: 1, three minutes later Diop Eisen. In the 54th minute, Fornells stunned Anfield as he raised West Ham to a 1: 2 lead, but then began the Marseilles' range they were looking to turn. In the 68th minute, Salah scored a great goal and equalized for the hosts, and in the 81st minute Mana set 2: 3 and reassured the Red fans at Anfield that they did not want to see their team lose points.
