Hugo Ekitike, right, scored his first goal in the Champions League
It was a night of bold calls for Liverpool boss Arne Slot in the Champions League on Wednesday, particularly on the back of four successive losses.
With the Reds out of form and desperate for a win, Slot opted to bench the talismanic Mohamed Salah against Eintracht Frankfurt and also experiment with a change in formation.
The most interesting aspect of that change was the decision to start British record signing Alexander Isak alongside the in-form Huge Ekitike for the first time.
All the risks paid off as Liverpool emphatically beat their German opponents 5-1, with Ekitike scoring against the club he left in the summer to make the move to Merseyside.
