There is no denying that Liverpool’s start to the season has been difficult.

Their hopes of challenging for the Premier League title may already be over, with Jurgen Klopp’s side 14 points behind table-toppers Arsenal already.

However, after a heavy defeat by Napoli in their opening Champions League game, three successive wins has left them on the verge of progressing to the knockout stages for the sixth successive season – including Wednesday’s thrashing of Rangers.

They went into the half-time break level at 1-1 against Rangers at Ibrox, but strolled off at full-time with a 7-1 win under their belts, including a six-minute hat-trick for substitute Mohamed Salah.

Former England defender Jonathan Woodgate called their performance “Champions League dynamite” on BBC Radio 5 Live.

“You’ve just witnessed what that Liverpool team can do in the second half,” added the former Leeds defender.

“A performance like that will give you heaps of confidence.

“It looks like Liverpool have got their spark back.” [BBC]
