Liverpool's Bradley Barcola stars with hat-trick as defensive issues plague Reds again
Liverpool saw off UEFA Champions League minnows LASK in a nine-goal thriller as Bradley Barcola fired home a hat-trick on a night when Florian Wirtz produced a timely response to his critics
Bradley Barcola scored a remarkable hat-trick, assisting Liverpool to a 6-3 victory over LASK in a high-scoring UEFA Champions League match. LASK had dominated the game for a while, scoring three goals in just 15 minutes, but Barcola's performance silenced the critics surrounding his recent transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
