Liverpool eased to a 3-0 win in Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday as Harry Kane’s double earned Bayern Munich a 2-0 victory against Union Saint-Gilloise that secured a place in the last 16 for the German giants.

Arne Slot’s Liverpool extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches in all competitions since a 4-1 hammering at home by PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League in November.

Mohamed Salah made his first appearance for his club since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, but he was not among the scorers.

Instead it was Dominik Szoboszlai who got the breakthrough just before halftime with a clever free-kick that went under the wall.

“T did my homework and got told that if no one is lying down, then I can hit it under the wall. I tried it and it worked out,” the Hungarian said.
