Is this Ryan Gravenberch's best match in a Liverpool shirt?

The Netherlands midfielder has shown some lovely touches and he forces another save from Guillaume Restes.

He's running the show.

Ansu Fati heads off to a standing ovation. On comes Facundo Buonanotte.

Billy Gilmour gets a rest too, replaced by Carlos Baleba.

This tie is not done and dusted. Joe Gomez is forced into some desperate defending and narrowly avoids conceding an own goal.

Is Jurgen Klopp saving Mo Salah for Nottingham Forest on Sunday?

An hour on the clock and no sign of changes on the Reds bench.

More Ajax changes. Midfielder Branco van den Boomen and Mika Godts, an 18-year-old forward, are on.

Steven Berghuis and Benjamin Tahirovic depart the action.

Wataru Endo goes close to a second as Liverpool find some rhythm.

But wait... Ajax are not done yet!

Steven Berghuis is found wide left and cuts back on to his right foot before sending a low shot against the base of the post. Brighton scramble to clear.

Ansu Fati is inches away from a second as he fires a fierce shot just past the far post from inside the box.

This is a real test to Ajax's fragile confidence now.

To make that Ansu Fati goal even better, his shot nutmegged the covering defender en route to the goal.

Brighton in complete control now.

Sloppy start to the second half by Liverpool. Gabriel Suazo will have nightmares about that miss.

Full-back, captain, assist-king and now decent keeper. Step forward Trent Alexander-Arnold.

How have Toulouse not scored?

Caoimhín Kelleher gets it all wrong after a back-pass and his clearance falls straight to a Toulouse player who tees up Gabriel Suazo who has an open goal.

He takes his time before shooting but Trent Alexander-Arnold is well placed to make the clearance off the line.

A little sign of attacking intent from Ajax as they get forward and Anton Gaaei drives in a low cross that is cut out by a home defender.

Billy Gilmour is hacked down by Anton Gaaei. Lewis Dunk quite rightly asks why that is not a yellow card when the two Albion challenges that led to cards were?

Liverpool have scored three goals in a match SEVEN times this season - and we're not even in November. Will they get more tonight? Mo Salah had a vigorous warm up at half-time.

Ajax have made a change. Kristian Hlynsson, who scored twice against Utrecht at the weekend, is on. Carlos Forbs is off.

It's going well for both Liverpool and Brighton so far.

On the evidence of the first 45 minutes at Anfield and the Amex, I'd expect more goals in the next 45 at both grounds.

Joao Pedro has now scored four goals in the 2023-24 Europa League - no player has more in the competition this season.
