UCL: Liverpool humble Frankfurt 5-1 to end losing streak

Hugo Ekitike netted against his old side as Liverpool stormed back from an early setback to crush Eintracht Frankfurt in a commanding Champions League display, ending their four-game losing streak in emphatic fashion.

The Reds had begun the season with seven straight wins in all competitions but had recently stumbled, suffering four successive defeats—including a disheartening loss to rivals Manchester United in the Premier League.

Early signs in Germany suggested their poor form might continue, with former Leeds defender Rasmus Kristensen putting Frankfurt ahead. However, Liverpool responded with intensity.

Ekitike, making his first start alongside club-record signing Alexander Isak, levelled the score ten minutes before half-time. He latched onto a superb long ball from Andy Robertson and calmly slotted home.

Liverpool then seized control, with Virgil van Dijk heading in from a corner just four minutes later. Ibrahima Konaté added a third right before the break, also converting from a corner.

Despite Ekitike and Isak only playing together for the first 45 minutes—Isak did not return for the second half—the Reds showed no signs of slowing down.

Cody Gakpo made it 4-1 with a tidy finish from Florian Wirtz’s assist, before Dominik Szoboszlai capped off the night with a stunning long-range strike, once again set up by Wirtz, sealing a statement win and restoring confidence in Jürgen Klopp’s squad.
