Joel Matip Secures Late Winner For Liverpool Over Ajax.

Joel Matip’s late header against Ajax at Anfield gave Liverpool their first Champions League win this season after Manager Jurgen Klopp demanded a reaction to the horror show of the 4-1 defeat at Napoli in their group opener.

Liverpool created plenty of openings and deservedly went ahead when Mohamed Salah swept home Diogo Jota’s pass.

Mohammed Kudus’ searing shot went in off the underside of the bar to level, but the Cameroonian pounced in the 89th minute.

Former Manchester United Player Daley Blind missed a great chance to put Ajax ahead late on before Matip whose previous Champions League goal was nine years ago rose to head the winner, which was confirmed by goal-line technology.
