Liverpool eased into the Champions League knockout rounds Wednesday after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assists cut through the Atlético Madrid defense in a 2-0 win at Anfield.
Precision passes from Alexander-Arnold into the heart of the goalmouth set up Diogo Jota and Sadio Mané for simply taken goals in the first 21 minutes.
Atlético looked beaten even before going down to 10 men in the 36th when defender Felipe was shown a straight red card for tripping Mané and his subsequent petulant reaction to the referee.
