Ryan Gravenberch scored his first goal for Liverpool as they beat Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League.
Summer signing Gravenberch struck just before half-time, slotting in after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s shot was parried by Anthony Moris.
That goal provided the spark in an otherwise dull first half of few chances at Anfield.
Darwin Nunez missed a big opportunity when he prodded wide from Mohamed Salah’s cross, while Gustaf Nilsson headed over from close range for the visitors.
The excellent Gravenberch was denied a second just after the hour when his dipping effort was pushed behind by Moris.
The visitors applied a bit of late pressure but Liverpool wrapped up the win late on when Diogo Jota slotted in after a quick break.
This was not a memorable performance by Liverpool but, after the video assistant referee controversy following Saturday’s Premier League defeat at Tottenham, it was a routine and incident-free win.
Liverpool top Group E with six points from two games.
