Bradley Barcola scored a hat-trick in Liverpool's 6-3 UEFA Champions League victory over LASK Linz in Austria. The French winger, acquired in a major summer transfer from UCL champions Paris Saint-Germain, was the star performer as multiple Liverpool players netted for the first time. Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Frimpong, and young Lewis Koumas added to Barcola's goals to form a foursome of scorers.

Robert Ljubicic and Florian Flecker were the only two LASK players to find the net, with Flecker scoring twice. Araujo opened the scoring with a header, followed by Barcola's first, second, and third goals. Frimpong then added a header of his own and set up Koumas for his goal. Despite both clubs' history of failure against each other in all three previous meetings and English clubs' poor record in Austria since 1991, Liverpool's win secured two points to take them into their next matches.
