Gravenberch makes history with sensational goal as Liverpool triumph in Europa League clash against Union Saint-Gilloise

Ryan Gravenberch opened his account for Liverpool with a goal against Union Saint-Gilloise, securing a 2-0 victory at Anfield and asserting their dominance over Europa League Group E. Gravenberch took advantage of an error by Union goalkeeper Anthony Moris to net a close-range finish shortly before halftime. Earlier in the first half, Liverpool's Darwin Nunez had missed a golden opportunity to score. In stoppage time of the second half, Diogo Jota added a second goal on the counter, allowing Liverpool to put their recent VAR controversy aside.

Liverpool, despite an underwhelming display, emerged victorious against the top-ranked Belgian team in a low-key evening at Anfield. Claiming maximum points from their initial two matches, they now lead Group E. Toulouse, the French side, follows closely in second place with four points, while Union and LASK Linz trail behind them.

Jurgen Klopp can take solace in the fact that all his players emerged unharmed from the game, especially considering the suspensions of Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota after the Tottenham match, as well as Cody Gakpo's injury. Liverpool is determined to bounce back from their contentious defeat on Saturday when they face Brighton on Sunday, which will be broadcasted live on We.
