It's looking like a job well done for Liverpool. They've had all sorts of criticism in recent weeks and a lot of it is justified. But this has been much more like what we have come to expect from them.

Brilliant defending from Kabak. He reads the ball through for Hwang and surges across to beat the forward to the ball and avert the danger.

It's been all Leipzig in the last 10 minutes or so. Nagelsmann has cut a very animated figure on the touchline, almost trying to force the ball home for his side from where he is standing.

Henderson booked.
