[IOS 26]

Liverpool have blitzed Ajax 2-1, with Philippe Coutinho scoring the winner.
Virgil van Dijk praised his team's performance, while Kolo Toure was sent
off for a foul on Ryan Babel.
Liverpool blitz beats Ajax 2-1

Ajax are on a high and Liverpool have the ball at their feet, but they have
failed to create any real chances in the first half. Liverpool are
defending well and Ajax have little to do in the final third. They have one
chance to score, but fail to do so, with Steven Bergwijn's header going
over the bar. The Dutch side are looking for a quick goal but Liverpool's
defence is proving too strong.

Liverpool are lining up in a diamond formation with Firmino at the point
and Salah and Nunez up front. It is a good formation but the Dutch side are
not renowned for playing from set pieces. That means that the Reds will
have a little more time to work on their routines and improve their
effectiveness.

Philippe Coutinho scores winner

Philippe Coutinho scores the winner in a blitz against Spartak Moscow in
the Champions League to send Liverpool into the last 16. The Reds' front
four smashed Spartak Moscow 7-0 at Anfield on Thursday night to clinch top
spot in Group E and a place in the last 16 of the competition. The
performance sees Coutinho score his first hat-trick and sets a new club
goal scoring record.

Philippe Coutinho scored a brace in Liverpool's blitz of West Ham. He set
up Daniel Sturridge to score the first goal, and then scored a solo goal in
the second half. After a great pass from Daniel Sturridge, he finished
coolly to give Liverpool the lead. He was then joined by Divock Origi for
the game-winning goal.
Virgil van Dijk praises team's performance

Virgil van Dijk has praised the performance of his Liverpool team. The
Dutch defender won the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award and was
runner-up to Lionel Messi in the Best FIFA award. He also praised his
team's performance in the CL last 16, saying they showed great 'quality'
against Real Madrid.

Despite the poor start to the season, Virgil van Dijk has been given
passionate backing by manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Liverpool drew 3-3
with Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. The Reds have now kept three
clean sheets in their last 17 games. On Tuesday, they play Rangers in the
Champions League. Virgil van Dijk says the win over Ajax is a huge boost
for the team's confidence.

Liverpool's defensive line was strengthened by the signing of Van Dijk and
Dejan Lovren. The duo helped the team to thrash Manchester City and Roma.
The team's performance was so good that it reached the final.

Kolo Toure is sent off for a foul on Ryan Babel

Kolo Toure is sent off for kicking Ryan Babel during Liverpool's 1-0 defeat
of Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League blitz. The reds had
gone five years without beating Everton. However, they were a different
proposition when the hosts were playing Liverpool. In the first half, the
visitors dominated the game, with Liverpool looking the more likely to win.
Everton were the better team, however, and Luis Suarez's strike was their
best.

Despite being 2-0 up at the half, Liverpool still had a chance to take the
lead. Cesc Fabregas played a great pass to the lanky striker, who was ruled
offside on several occasions. A quick counter-attack followed, with Cesc
Fabregas finding the lanky striker in space. A few minutes later, Alexander
Hleb slipped the ball to Diaby who finished clinically past Jose Reina.
Jurgen Klopp says he wants to join Napoli in knockout stages

Jurgen Klopp is looking to make Liverpool's European run more successful
than last season. The Liverpool manager has been able to bring back the
magic of European nights to Anfield with a series of victories against
Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund. He also managed to get the Reds to
defeat Roma and Manchester City in April. Klopp has said that Liverpool can
achieve something special if they have more players and new impetus. But
before that can happen, the Reds must defeat Napoli.

Liverpool have already played Napoli twice this season. In their previous
meetings, the Reds have won both games. While this does not guarantee them
top spot in their group, a win could serve as a reminder to their
opponents. A victory would also be vital for their progress in the knockout
stages. Liverpool have progressed from groups in five of their previous six
campaigns, and Klopp is keen to make that happen again this year.
