    LIVERPOOL INTO THE LAST 16 AS TOULOUSE DRAW WITH UNION SG
    Cody Gakpo scored twice as Liverpool booked their place in the UEFA Europa League Last 16 courtesy of a convincing 4-0 victory over LASK at Anfield.
    Jurgen Klopp opted for nine changes from the 1-1 draw at Manchester City at the weekend, but it made little difference as a header from Luis Diaz and a close-range finish from Gakpo put the Merseysiders two up inside 15 minutes.
    Mohamed Salah added a third from the penalty spot on 51 minutes and it was rather routine from there with Gakpo putting the icing on the cake with his second of the night in stoppage time.
    The result means Liverpool finish top of Group E with a game to spare and qualify for the Last 16 on 12 points. Toulouse are second on eight points with Union Saint-Gilloise third on five and LASK bottom with three.
    Liverpool will now conclude their Group E campaign at Union SG on December 14. LASK host Toulouse.

    TNT SPORTS EXPERT MICHAEL OWEN'S VERDICT
    "It was easy enough for Liverpool tonight. They got the clean sheet and scored a few goals.
    "A few Champions League teams will be thanking their lucky stars Liverpool are not in that tournament, they are one of the best. You mention their home form, no one in Europe wants to go to Anfield. They are very difficult to beat even though they played their second string."

    JOB DONE - BUT WHAT ABOUT TOULOUSE?
    Liverpool look to have secured the win they were after.
    Over in France, it's still goalless between Toulouse and Union SG.
    That would guarantee top spot and a spot in the Last 16 for the Reds.

    LASK CONTINUE TO POSE QUESTIONS
    Liverpool are suffering dips in concentration at the back and Kelleher is being kept busier than expected.
    This time the Irishman tips away Zulj's clever flick, albeit from what was eventually deemed an offside position.

    LIVERPOOL ATTEMPT
    Gakpo picks up a loose ball on the far left of the area and fires in an awkward shot that deflects into the keeper's arms.
    Gravenberch isn't too impressed as he was well-placed for a cut back in a central area.

    THIS COULD STILL GET MESSY FOR LASK
    Liverpool are playing within themselves and it's allowing the visitors to have a few moments on the break too.
    However, the Austrian's defence is creaking a fair bit and as those legs tire the Reds could plunder a few more goals before the night is out.
