What Liverpool must do in order to move forward in the Europa League following their loss to Toulouse
In France, it was an extremely intricate match.
Luis Díaz, a Colombian, signed a contract with Liverpool in Toulouse a few hours after hearing that his father, who had been abducted since October 28, had been freed. The English team lost 3-2 against the French. It was the fourth day of the second continental club tournament, the Europa League, in Group E.Liverpool is still in first place with nine points after winning the opening three rounds. ahead of the Austrian LASK, who has three points and opens its locker after collapsing in the first three days, and the Belgian Union St Gilloise (3rd, 4 points), who fell 3-0 in the field.
Aron Donnum of Norway (36th minute) and Thijs Dallinga of the Netherlands (58th minute) gave Toulouse a 2-0 lead.Third-placed Liverpool in the Premier League had allowed less well-known players to have playing experience, but following the interval, Jürgen Klopp added Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Dominick Szobszlai.
The Venezuelan Cristian Cásseres Jr. goal in the 73rd minute gave the ‘Reds’ a slight advantage, but Frank Magri, a French-Cameroonian, scored the equaliser in the 76th minute to put the French team farther behind. The English were once again pushed closer by the Portuguese Diogo Jota (89), and in stoppage time (90+7) they even thought they had equalised through the Uruguayan Darwin Núñez. However, the goal was disallowed following a video review because Argentine Alexis Mac Allister had handballed at the beginning of the play.
What Liverpool requires
Luis Díaz got no points. He had previously participated in the last moments of Luton’s 1-1 Premier League encounter on Sunday, when he scored the equaliser for his club and dedicated it to his father. The triumph on Thursday created a frenzy at the TFC Stadium, which saw a record-breaking 32,026 spectators—1,200 of them were English—since the venue’s refurbishment for the Euro-2016.Toulouse, which is currently only 14th in the French league, also exacts retribution for losing to Liverpool 5-1 at Anfield on matchday three. Liverpool must now defeat LSK Linz in their subsequent match in order to guarantee their progression to the following round.
