Luis Diaz scored a stunning hat-trick as Liverpool demolished Bayer Leverkusen to maintain their 100% winning run in the Champions League league phase.

Reds legend Xabi Alonso made his return to Anfield in charge of the Bundesliga outfit, but was left shell-shocked by a dominant second half performance from Arne Slot's side.

Diaz opened the scoring before Cody Gakpo doubled Liverpool's lead. The Colombian then netted a further two strikes to clinch an emphatic win as Slot's men went top of the table.
