The Gers were 1-0 up after 17 minutes but the visitors quickly silenced the Ibrox crowd and were level by half-time with a goal from Roberto Firmino.

Few would have predicted what followed in the second-half but the rampant Reds came good for our punter with another from Firmino and a Darwin Nunez strike.

Another four goals looked like a tall order but enter Mo Salah who came off the bench and smashed three goals in six minutes to set up a nailbiting finale for the bettor.

What followed was a rollercoaster of emotions as Harvey Elliott volleyed in the seventh only for the youngster to be flagged for offside. A subsequent VAR check reversed the decision and meant our punter was in seventh heaven.

After the match Liverpool are 9.28/1 in the Champions League outright winner market. Next up, they play Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
