It's three games and three wins for Liverpool in Europe, with Jurgen Klopp able to turn his attentions back to Premier League matters after a win against Toulouse.
The Reds made a number of tweaks from the line-up which saw off Everton in the Merseyside Derby and still had more than enough for their French opponents. With matches against Nottingham Forest and Luton to come before their next European trip, Klopp's men can stand themselves in good stead in the Premier League.

Summer signings Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch were both among the goals, with Endo's header his first for the club. There was also a late return from the bench for Cody Gakpo, who was making his first appearances since suffering an injury against Tottenham in September.

Former Reds favourite Fowler sacked
Ex-Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has been sacked by Saudi club Al Qadsiah. The former striker had only been in charge of the side for a matter of months, and was dismissed despite them flying high in the second tier.
"The management of Al Qadsiah Sports Club have decided to terminate the contractual relationship with first team football coach, Mr. Robbie Fowler," a club statement read. "The club appreciates the coach's efforts and professionalism... and wishes him all the success in his professional career."
An unbeaten record across the first eight league games of the season left Al Qadsiah just a point behind league leaders Al Orobah. Three teams will earn promotion to the Saudi Pro League at the end of the season.
