IVERPOOL once again demonstrated their sheer will to win as they secured dramatic victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening.

- By IAN DOYLE Chief LFC Writer ian.doyle@reachplc.com @lanDoyleSport

Arne Slot’s side were two goals ahead early on through Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah but needed an injury-time Virgil van Dijk header to seal a 3-2 triumph after Marcos Llorente struck twice for the visitors.

The result ensured the Reds enjoyed the perfect start to their Champions League campaign and extended their run of wins to five in all competitions

But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes (and a bit more) at Anfield...

Simeone gotta Simeone

For better or worse, there’s nobody quite like Diego Simeone.

Long before his late red card, the Atletico Madrid boss was annoying people in trademark fashion at Anfield.
