Liverpool end their poor show in away games of the Champions League as they thrash Genk 4-1 in Genk

Former Arsenal man Chamberlain opened the scores for Liverpool just two minutes into the game, he added his second on the night on the 57’ minute mark before African duo Mane on the 77 minute and Salah ten minutes after Mane’s goal ensure Liverpool left Gent with all three points.
