Ekitike Shines as Liverpool Crush Frankfurt 5–1 in Champions League Comeback
Liverpool bounced back to winning ways in stunning fashion with a 5–1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night. Former Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike scored against his old club as the Reds ended a run of four straight defeats.
Frankfurt took an early lead through Rasmus Kristensen, but Liverpool responded strongly — Ekitike equalized before Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate both scored from corners to make it 3–1 before halftime. Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai added late goals to seal the win.
With the result, Liverpool climbed to 10th place in the Champions League league phase, reigniting their European hopes. Van Dijk said after the game, “It’s a win and something to build on.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid also recorded big victories on the same night, while Tottenham were held to a 0–0 draw at Monaco.
