Liverpool emphatically ended their four-game losing streak with a commanding 5–1 comeback victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. The Premier League champions delivered an explosive performance in Germany, showcasing set-piece brilliance, creative midfield play, and ruthless finishing to reignite confidence in Arne Slot’s side.
Despite conceding first yet again, Liverpool responded in devastating fashion. Frankfurt struck early when Rasmus Kristensen’s low drive beat Giorgi Mamardashvili, but the visitors replied immediately. Andy Robertson launched a swift counterattack, releasing Hugo Ekitiké, who showed blistering pace to slot home the equaliser against his former club. The goal marked Liverpool’s 300th away strike in European competition — and sparked a flood of goals to follow.
Virgil van Dijk put Liverpool ahead with a towering header from a Cody Gakpo corner before Ibrahima Konaté repeated the feat moments later, converting from Dominik Szoboszlai’s delivery to make it 3–1. The two quick-fire goals underlined Slot’s emphasis on set-piece efficiency, a department that had drawn criticism in recent weeks.
At half-time, Slot replaced Alexander Isak with Federico Chiesa to manage fitness concerns. Liverpool continued to dominate after the break, maintaining tempo and width through Florian Wirtz, who was outstanding on his return to Germany. Wirtz teed up Gakpo for the fourth goal, threading a precise cross across goal for an easy finish at the far post.
The fifth came courtesy of Szoboszlai, who sealed the victory with a powerful 25-yard strike after a clever pass from Wirtz. The Hungarian midfielder, instrumental throughout, capped a complete team performance that showcased Liverpool’s depth and renewed sharpness.
Slot’s tactical adjustments — including a 4-4-2 setup pairing Isak and Ekitiké — paid off handsomely. With Mohamed Salah rested, others stepped up to deliver a much-needed statement win.
The result lifts Liverpool’s morale and keeps their Champions League hopes firmly on track. More importantly, it restores belief after a challenging run of form and demonstrates that under Slot, the Reds can blend structure, intensity, and flair to devastating effect once again.
