He pounced on an error from Slovenian international center back to give the hosts the lead off the assist from Egyptian international Mohamed Salah.

Naby Keita has now scored three goals in four weeks for Liverpool having waited for several months to hit his first goal for the Reds since his £55m from German club RB Leipzig last summer.
