Bradley Barcola scored a hat trick as Liverpool won 6-3 at Austria's LASK in the Champions League on Wednesday. The goals were Barcola's first for Liverpool since joining from Paris Saint-Germain in the offseason. Ronald Araújo broke the deadlock with a header from a corner less than two minutes into the match. Barcola then scored in the 24th minute from a lay-off by Lewis Koumas, and his second in the 37th after being played through by Florian Wirtz.

Jeremie Frimpong headed Liverpool's fourth off the right post in the 51st minute. Robert Ljubičić pulled a goal back for LASK in the 63rd minute, a minute after coming on as a substitute. Frimpong then provided a simple tap-in for Barcola's hat trick in the 66th minute, and Lewis Koumas scored Liverpool's sixth six minutes later – his first goal for the club.

Florian Flecker scored twice for LASK with a diving header in the 74th minute and again four minutes later. Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola started French defender Jérémy Jacquet, with Virgil van Dijk initially on the substitutes' bench before replacing him for the final half hour.
