Liverpool started their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 victory away to LASK, with Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah catching the eye.
The Reds leave Austria with three points in what is hopefully a triumphant European adventure, with the final in Dublin next May.
However, Jurgen Klopp‘s team did go behind when Florian Flecker fired home from distance in the first half, as their start-of-game struggles continued.
Thankfully, Darwin Nunez levelled things up from the penalty spot soon after the interval, before Luis Diaz made it 2-1 just minutes later.
Salah capped an eye-catching cameo appearance to complete the scoring late on, finishing off a good night for Liverpool overall.
Here’s how some Reds reacted to the win on social media.
Another strong comeback by Liverpool, but it wasn’t all positive…
Going a goal behind is our superpower….

A 50th European win as LFC manager for Jurgen Klopp. That's more than any previous LFC manager.

Another win for Liverpool tonight having conceded an early goal. Becoming a bit of a habit.

I mean, it's only LASK and I've no doubt Liverpool will coast through this group, but this first-half malaise simply has to stop.
Not going to keep just coming good after the break in games, especially against someone like West Ham on Sunday.

Nunez and Gravenberch left their mark
All 6 of Darwin Núñez's assists for Liverpool have been for Mo Salah.
It's only the third time an #LFC player has had 6 consecutive assists all for the same teammate in the Premier League era, along with Collymore for Fowler (1996-1997) and Heskey for Owen (2001-2002). #LASKLIV

Gravenberch is good who would’ve thought

Ryan Gravenberch already showing his quality with that first assist for Luis Diaz – stunning cross #LFC
— Farrell Keeling (@farrellkeeling) September 21, 2023
Gravenberch's technique is quality, just needs to build up his fitness and confidence a bit but looks to have it all

Gravenberch rusty, but you can see his potential.

*copy and paste from Wolves* #LFC win 3-1 after going a goal down in a dreadful first-half performance.
Good full debut for Ryan Gravenberch, more goal involvements for Luis Diaz after a frustrating season last year, some promising glimpses from Ben Doak.

Darwin Núñez isn’t getting enough credit for his holdup play. Been very good in that area this season, like at Almería before joining Benfica. Played a key part with it for Robertson’s goal at Wolves and tonight at LASK.

Salah looked scintillating
Can we all agree that Mo Salah is the best winger in the world.

Salah is far too good for this
— The Anfield Wrap (@TheAnfieldWrap) September 21, 2023
Honestly bringing Mo Salah on was like dropping a goal on the pitch

Mo Salah came running on to absolutely wreak havoc then, fair play to him; looks a lot of fun

I’ll said it before and I’ll say it again.
Mo Salah is IRREPLACEABLE. One of the greatest players of this generation.
