Other than the cliché about it being a clinical and professional performance, I didn't have a lot of thoughts about this game, except that we seem to be a plausible threat from crosses. Two goals in three were from crosses: Trent Alexander-Arnold is proving to be quite a decent crosser, and his ball in from the right provided an opportunistic Salah the opening goal. Moreno - a less decent crosser - actually managed to swing one in for Sturridge to get the injury time goal.
That was probably fortuitous, to say the least, but coupled with the goal by Firmino against Huddersfield just a few days prior - we're actually getting an above-average rate of crosses leading to goals (for Liverpool as a team at least). Long may it continue!
