The Anfield side came into their trip to Germany reeling after a run of four consecutive defeats, which included a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in their last Champions League outing. They bounced back in style by coming from behind to hammer Eintracht, who suffered a second straight 5-1 defeat in Europe - having started their Champions League campaign with a 5-1 win.

Rasmus Kristensen gave the hosts the lead, but Ekitike broke away to equalise against the team he left in July in a £79 million deal. Virgil van Dijk headed the visitors in front at a corner on 39 minutes, and Ibrahima Konaté made it 3-1 before the interval in almost identical fashion. Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai added further goals in the second half as Liverpool moved up to 10th in the 36-team league phase standings.
