Alexis Mac Allister scored the decisive goal as Liverpool came from behind to defeat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at Anfield in their opening Champions League match.

Marcos Llorente maintained his impressive scoring record at Anfield by giving Diego Simeone’s team the lead after 17 minutes.

Liverpool hit back before half-time when Ronald Araujo’s touch sent the ball into the path of Dominik Szoboszlai, who finished clinically.

The comeback was completed just five minutes into the second half. Mac Allister, who recently spoke of his disappointment over Liverpool’s decision not to offer him a new contract, unleashed a powerful effort from 20 yards to put the Reds in front.

Bradley Barcola missed a major chance to increase Liverpool’s lead before being forced off injured on only his second appearance for the club.
