Liverpool celebrated yet another dramatic late win as Virgil van Dijk’s 92nd-minute header proved enough for a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in a topsy-turvy Champions League opener.

Arne Slot’s side have won each of their first four Premier League matches this season in similar fashion, although their performances have not always convinced.

Wednesday’s was the best Liverpool display of the season so far, however, with Alexander Isak appearing in the XI for his debut and Mohamed Salah inspiring a fast start.

Salah saw a free-kick deflected in by Andy Robertson, before the provider turned scorer after just six minutes, sweeping in following a one-two with Ryan Gravenberch.

Quick take: Big picture: the update fits broader trends across the league with schedule pressure and tight tables. Supporters will watch for clarity from training ground reports and official briefings. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
