Liverpool’s superiority over their Europa League opponents has never been in doubt, an off-night in Toulouse notwithstanding, and they sealed a place in the last 16 as group winners with a convincing defeat of Lask at Anfield.
Jürgen Klopp’s side delivered the victory they required and also got the result they needed from Toulouse against Union Saint-Gilloise to record a 10th successive home win in all competitions this season. Victory looked assured from the moment Luis Díaz headed home in the 12th minute. A brace from Cody Gakpo and the 199th goal of Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool career sealed passage to the knockout phase with something to spare.
