Liverpool gained a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Inter Milan at the San Siro, courtesy of a late penalty from Dominik Szoboszlai. The Hungarian midfielder scored in the 88th minute, securing a vital win for Liverpool in the Champions League.
Controversy marred the match as Inter Milan’s players expressed outrage over the penalty award. Alessandro Bastoni was judged to have pulled Florian Wirtz’s shirt, prompting VAR intervention and the subsequent spot kick award.
This win propels Liverpool to eighth place in the table with 12 points from six games. Meanwhile, Inter Milan drops to fifth place with the same points tally but a superior goal difference.
The victory is a morale boost for Liverpool, particularly given Mohamed Salah’s absence due to a public disagreement with manager Arne Slot. Slot commended his team’s commitment and pressing, describing the win as a “huge result.” Liverpool defender Andy Robertson echoed this sentiment, while captain Virgil van Dijk emphasized the victory’s significance for the team.
