Liverpool claimed a massive 5-1 win against Toulouse at Anfield and have maintained a comfortable lead to stay atop Group E.  

Diogo Jota put Liverpool in the lead after he carefully finished off an individual effort before Thijs Dallinga seized a fast break to level the scores soon after. 

Wataru Endo guided a header home from Alexander-Arnold to send the hosts back in the lead on half hour of play and Darwin Nunez stroke home the third goal four minutes later. 

Liverpool extended lead  with fourth goal as Ryan Gravenberch finished off Nunez's effort and Mo Salah completed the scoresheet with a stoppage time goal following a fast break from Jota. 

The winning goal from Salah was a record feat of 43rd goal for Liverpool and that the biggest for qn English player in major competitions..

Quick Overview 

The six-goal thriller game for Toulouse, obviously was not that kind that beat Liverpool would not win, yet the visiting side played interesting football and with fairly plausible character against hosts at Anfield.

After that Dallinga's equalizer, Liverpool woke up to a potential scare from the visitors and responded accordingly anyways. Meanwhile, Toulouse only had fairly impressive coordination and not that offensive to keep them in the game while Liverpool was adding in more goals. 

Liverpool on their side started players like James McConnell, 19, and Callum Scanlon both of whom were making his debut appearance as substitutes.
