Liverpool had crushed Maribor 7-0 in the reverse fixture two weeks ago, but had to be content with three goals at Anfield as the Slovenian champions belatedly tightened things up at the back. "The group is maybe the most interesting in the Champions League," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport. With Maribor defending deep in a 5-4-1 formation, Liverpool struggled to create chances in the first half. The Egypt winger has now scored 10 Liverpool goals since his close-season move from Roma. Substitute Sturridge completed the scoring in the last minute, lashing home at the back post from Alberto Moreno's cross to notch his first Champions League goal in Liverpool's colours.
