There could be little doubt that the big winner was Daniel Sturridge. Making his first Champions League start in six years, having replaced Roberto Firmino, still suffering from an eye injury that forced him off at the weekend, in the Liverpool front three, and he marked his return with a goal. The finish was a relatively simple one – he simply had to get his head to Andy Robertson’s wonderful cross to strike – but his movement to ghost in between the visiting centre-backs was excellent.

Otherwise, his contribution leading the line was primarily defensive as he had few other opportunities in front of goal to shine. Nevertheless, he closed down to the PSG defence well and performed in the type of industrious and selfless manner that will have pleased his manager.
