Liverpool came from behind to beat AC Milan 3-1 as they returned to the Champions League in style in the San Siro.
It had threatened to become an uncomfortable evening for Arne Slot when his side fell behind inside three minutes. Christian Pulisic found space in behind Kostas Tsimikas and fired low beyond Alisson into the far corner to the delight of the home crowd.
But Liverpool remained calm and asserted their control. Helpfully, the two goals that turned the game around were remarkably straightforward. Ibrahima Konate nodded in a free-kick from the left before Virgil van Dijk did much the same from a right-wing corner.
With Mohamed Salah twice hitting the underside of the crossbar before the interval, it was no more than Liverpool deserved. They confirmed their dominance in the second half, Dominik Szoboszlai turning the ball home after excellent work by Cody Gakpo.
