Ekitike scores against former team as Liverpool thrash Frankfurt 5-1
- Liverpool ended a four-game losing streak on Wednesday with a 5-1 Champions League win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Facing mounting pressure, Liverpool arrived staring down their worst run in 73 years, prompting Arne Slot to bench Mohamed Salah and adjust the formation.
- Eintracht struck first through Rasmus Kristensen, but Hugo Ekitike equalised before Liverpool scored three goals inside 10 minutes with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate heading before half-time.
- The victory delivered an immediate confidence boost for Arne Slot's reigning Premier League champions, but Liverpool supporters saw tougher tests ahead as Eintracht Frankfurt conceded 23 goals in six games.
- Player fitness and form—particularly Florian Wirtz's two assists and Alexander Isak's half-time substitution due to a groin issue—will influence upcoming selections.
