Liverpool 2-0 Rangers: Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah score as Reds ease to Champions League win
Jurgen Klopp's side made it two wins from three in Champions League Group A as Rangers were overpowered on the pitch amid a frenzied atmosphere at Anfield; Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah scored the goals for Liverpool
Trent Alexander-Arnold's fabulous free-kick set Liverpool on their way to a confidence-boosting 2-0 Champions League win over Rangers at Anfield.
The full-back's form has been much discussed but he lit up the night with a wonderful effort to fire Liverpool ahead before Mohamed Salah scored from the spot after Luis Diaz was fouled by Leon King. It only hinted at the total dominance of Jurgen Klopp's side.
The result maintains Liverpool's grip on the second spot in Champions League Group A at the halfway stage, while Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side find themselves languishing at the foot of the table without a point or even a goal from their three games so far.

How Liverpool dominated Rangers at Anfield
Klopp's response to his team's defensive frailties of late was to remove Fabinho and introduce an additional forward to the starting line-up. Salah was joined by Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez. The best form of defense and all that.
Amid a crackling Anfield atmosphere, that is how it proved as his Liverpool side took the game to Rangers from the outset. Nunez fired off a smart shot. Kostas Tsimikas raided forward well and it was his pass that saw the Uruguayan fouled for the key free-kick.

There was plenty to do but Alexander-Arnold makes those look easy, whipping the ball beyond Allan McGregor with ease. After all the focus on his defensive weaknesses, this was a reminder that he is a player who can do things that other players cannot.
It blew Rangers' game plan apart. Confidence had been restored by a healthy victory over Hearts but memories of those heavy defeats to Celtic, Ajax, and Napoli would have lingered. Would this team wilt again when up against a higher class of opponent?
