Jurgen Klopp's advice to Ryan Gravenberch, who looks absolutely delighted to be playing for Liverpool. pic.twitter.com/YjOUFVsupr
It was a European debut to forget for Brighton last night, who lost 3-2 at home to A-E-K Athens in Group B of the Europa League.
Mohammed Kudus scored his maiden West Ham goal in a 3-1 win at home to T-S-C in Group A.
Jurgen Klopp says last night’s 3-1 win away to LASK in Group E was a massive learning curve for his Liverpool players and Rangers were 1-nil winners over Real Betis in Group C at Ibrox.

Jamison Gibson Park returns at scrum-half for Irelandโs World Cup showdown with South Africa on Saturday.
He replaces Conor Murray in the only change to the starting fifteen that beat Tonga.
