But Martinez changed the complexion of the game with his long-range effort, which came off a Liverpool turnover that was quickly moved into the attacking third by Ivan Perisic and Sanchez. A well-placed pass by Sanchez allowed Martinez to take a step towards goal before launching a precise strike past a diving Alisson Becker and into the top-right corner of the Liverpool net. The first hour saw Liverpool comfortably control the play, as they held a majority of the possession and struck the woodwork once in each half to keep the visitors on the back foot. A stunning goal by Lautaro Martinez in the 61st minute was followed closely by an ejection for Alexis Sanchez as Inter rode a wave of emotion during Tuesday's match.

MF Jordan Henderson, 6 -- Organised the midfield well and looked to play simple while positioning safely to deny counterattacks. FW Diogo Jota, 5 -- A fairly anonymous performance from Jota saw the Portugal international struggle to find space with the visitors keeping their three centre-backs narrow.

DF Joel Matip, 6 -- Close to opening the scoring with a strong header that rattled the bar from Trent Alexander-Arnold's free kick.
