The coach spent even more of the game than usual bellowing, whether at the officials or his own men it was hard to say, there was so much of it. In moments, Adrian is unconvincing and when he got into a terrible mix-up with Joe Gomez after just two minutes it revealed the assuredness Liverpool have lost. For all the moments of fragility that Adrian had displayed, it turned out to be a panicked defensive error by Ajax that separated the sides. Indeed they led pretty much against the balance of play, and despite looking rather fragile at the back early on. It was the sort of bold, responsible defending we have come to expect from Van Dijk. There are, of course, better sides in this competition than Ajax; teams that will test Liverpool's defence to its limit. Part of the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday & Metro Media Group.

Stationed alongside the excellent Joe Gomez, Fabinho calmed the nerves and nullified the hosts in a largely untidy first half. We’ll ask you to confirm this for your first post to Facebook. As unfortunate as Liverpool were last weekend at Goodison Park so the balance was redressed in their favour in the first half here. Liverpool haven't lost to Dutch opponents since 1966, but Ajax are a useful side and certainly had their moments. By the end of the game, he’d won 80% of his duels. What happened at the start of the second half, however, was more luck than judgment. It did, of course, but not in a way it was imagined. And soon after when Promes combined with David Neres in a succession of neat passes, Adrian saved smartly from close range. Given the circumstances, this was a match for Liverpool to get through, to manage, to win with minimal fuss. Start your Independent Premium subscription today.

And what a strange goal it was. The ball ricocheted out for a throw-in. Onana does, for Ajax. His defenders do not seem greatly skittish around him. Liverpool’s intention to hit their front three early was evident from the off. Captain Jordan Henderson was a substitute at half-time and was influential throughout the second half as the Reds held on, Brazilian midfielder Fabinho once again looked very impressive in his unusual role of centre back for Jurgen Klopp's side. It was Tadic again, put through one on one, and lobbing Adrian beautifully. An away win, and a clean sheet, in Liverpool's first match without the talismanic Virgil van Dijk is not to be sniffed it.
