FC Porto 0-5 Liverpool: 5 Talking Points

#3 Liverpool's defence impresses

Like Liverpool, Porto too had a pretty menacing attack which has helped the team to top the domestic league. However, the Liverpool backline did pretty well in stifling out the attacks. The first few minutes saw Yacine Brahimi trying to make inroads down the left, but he matched well by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The youngsters not only match Brahimi for pace but timed his tackles perfectly which cut off the supply from the left. The centre-backs did well to block the early Porto shots. The most important of them was DejanLovren's block on Otavio's shot from just outside the penalty area.

Virgil van Dik put another impressive performance as he won quite a few aerial duels and kept forward Tiquinho Soares in check. Loris Karius didn't have a notable save to make in the game, so that says a lot about how well the back four performed.
