Temperatures reached lows of -4C at Anfield but Liverpool put in a performance to warm the cockles of Jurgen Klopp and an expectant crowd.
The Reds ensured safe passage to the Europa League knockout stages with a thumping win over Austrian side LASK.
After a bruising defeat - and more worryingly a shoddy performance - in Toulouse in their last European outing, Klopp had challenged his team to make this a ‘special night’ and qualify for the latter stages of the competition - and Liverpool passed that audition with flying colours.
