Liverpool player ratings as Ryan Gravenberch and two more outstanding in Toulouse rout
Liverpool preserved their perfect record in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night, as they hammered Toulouse 5-1 at Anfield.
Diogo Jota opened the scoring early on for the Reds, before Thijs Dallinga struck to equalise for the visitors.
