Liverpool secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Inter Milan thanks to an 88th-minute penalty from Dominik Szoboszlai at the San Siro in their UEFA Champions League matchday six clash.
The Reds travelled without Mohamed Salah after his post-match criticism at the weekend, but the team put the off-field noise aside and started brightly.
Curtis Jones forced Yann Sommer into an early save, while Ibrahima Konaté saw a header ruled out by VAR for handball in the buildup.
Inter responded through Lautaro Martínez, whose powerful header tested Alisson, but clear chances were rare after the break.
Conor Bradley came closest for Liverpool in the second half but shot straight at Sommer.
Just when the game seemed destined to finish goalless, Liverpool were awarded a late penalty after Alessandro Bastoni was judged to have tugged Florian Wirtz’s shirt.
Szoboszlai stepped up and buried the spot-kick, sealing a valuable away victory.
The result lifts Liverpool to eighth in the standings, level on points with Inter, who have now slipped to back-to-back defeats in the competition.
