#3 Liverpool mark a historic win

Liverpool v Manchester United - Premier League
Liverpool earned a historic win in Slovenia

Winning their first match in eight games, Liverpool did that in an emphatic manner by hammering Maribor 7-0 at the latter's home turf. This mega scoreline victory was not only pleasing on the eye for Jurgen Klopp but it also created a number of records.

The 7-0 rout by Liverpool is the biggest margin of victory for an English club away from home in Europe (this includes the European Cup as well).

This is also the joint highest away win in the history of the competition. Marseille and Shakhtar Donetsk are the other leaders on this list. On top of that, Liverpool also became the first English side to score four first-half goals away from half in Europe. This means that Liverpool now have the biggest margin win in Europe; home and away.

Home: Liverpool 8-0 Besiktas

Away: Maribor 0-7 Liverpool

All aboard the Jurgen train!
