Marinos at the Nissan Stadium. The German midfielder, who only recently joined the Merseyside club from Bayer Leverkusen, was instrumental in turning the game around after Liverpool had fallen behind early in the second half.

Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool since completing a £116 million ($156m) British record transfer from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
