UCL: Liverpool overcome early scare to pick 3-1 win against AC Milan

Liverpool bounced back from their recent Premier League woes with a 3-1 victory over AC Milan at the San Siro.

Despite a shaky start, the Reds overturned an early scare to secure three points in their Champions League group-stage opener.

Milan took a surprise lead just three minutes in when Christian Pulisic, one of four former Chelsea players in the lineup, capitalized on a quick counterattack.

Pulisic raced down the left flank before firing a low shot past Alisson.

However, Liverpool responded well and began to take control of the encounter.

Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk turned the game around with powerful headers, making history as the first pair of Liverpool central defenders to score in the same Champions League match.

Dominik Szoboszlai then added a stylish third goal to seal the victory.

The win came as a relief for manager Arne Slot, whose side had struggled in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest over the weekend.
