Mohamed Salah scored early and Harvey Elliott scored late, and that was all Liverpool needed to beat Lille at Anfield on Tuesday and move to 7-for-7 perfect in the newly formatted UEFA Champions League group stage.

The Reds welcome Ligue 1 side Lille to Anfield as they look to maintain their 100% win record in the Champions League group stage

Liverpool make it seven wins out of seven in the Champions League. Elliott's deflected strike proved to be the winner. Lille put up a decent fight, equalising through David after Mandi was sent off. Job done.

Not that they will have it easy against Lille. The Ligue 1 outfit sit eighth in the standings with four wins from six, which includes impressive victories over holders Real Madrid and their city rivals Atletico Madrid.

A 2-1 victory looked to have done the job with a game to spare only for the second-placed Catalans to beat Benfica 5-4 with a goal in the sixth minute of added time to ensure the race for first place will go to the final fixture.
