Liverpool began their Europa League campaign with a turnaround 3-1 victory at Linz ASK thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Mo Salah.

Jurgen Klopp's much-changed side once again came from behind to win for the fourth time this season having trailed in matches against Bournemouth, Newcastle and Wolves in the Premier League.

Florian Flecker gave LASK, who play in the Austrian Football Bundesliga, a half-time lead with an unstoppable drive from 25 yards in just the 14th minute.

However, Nunez dispatched a penalty shortly after the break before Diaz finished off a nice move from Ryan Gravenberch's cross and then substitute Salah wrapped up the victory two minutes from time by poking the ball home.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "Tough start, yes. Obviously the first shot on target after a set-piece and we

conceded. We had very good moments but I saw the boys didn't feel that. It was not that we could gain confidence from our good moments - we didn't seem to think we should do that again.

"So we suffered from the less good moments confidence-wise and frustration grew. It makes no sense. Human, but it makes no sense anyway.

"We showed them (at half-time) two football situations from the first half where we did pretty well. The boys clearly thought there was nothing good in the first half but that was not true.

"We told them they had to get rid of the frustration getting back into the game again, and then we would have a good chance to turn it around, and that's what we did eventually.

"I'm really, really happy because I said before I knew it would be really difficult, and it was difficult, even if people didn't believe me. Well-deserved win in the end and that's it.

"I know that people expect us to fly through this competition. In the group stage it will not happen, in the knockout it will not happen. We have to dig in, dig into it."
