  "account": "Liverpool forward Bradley Barcola silenced critics with a hat-trick, lifting his spirits after a disappointing start to his £123 million transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. The France striker netted twice before halftime and then added a third in the 66th minute as Liverpool secured a 6-3 victory over LASK in the Champions League match at Raiffeisen Arena on Wednesday. Ronald Araujo gave Liverpool the lead in the 22nd minute, before Barcola added two more goals in quick succession. Jeremie Frimpong equalized for LASK in the 51st minute, but Barcola completed his treble with a nimble finish following a pass from Jeremie Frimpong. Lewis Koumas added a sixth goal in the 72nd minute to round off a dominant display from the Reds, who maintained their 100% record in this season's tournament. The win came as a welcome boost for manager Iraola, who had endured his first defeat in eight games after a Premier League-leading 3-0 loss to Manchester City on Sunday.",
  "summary": "Bradley Barcola ended his goal drought and silenced critics in a chaotic 6-3 win after facing criticism since his £123 million move from PSG.",
