In the opening minute at Anfield, John Lundstram, a Scouser in blue, went looking for a statement tackle, a moment to show his hosts that Rangers were in town and nothing in the 90 minutes to come was going to be easy for Liverpool.
He found his man in the shape of Diogo Jota. A fair tackle but a sturdy one. Jota felt it for sure. In terms of inflicting pain on Jurgen Klopp's team, that was it for the night. Rangers' hopes went up in a puff of red smoke after that, their challenge gone in less than 60 seconds.
