Joel Matip’s late header against Ajax at Anfield gave Liverpool their first Champions League win this season.

Mohammed Kudus’ searing shot went in off the underside of the bar to level but Matip’s 89th minute header won it.
Daley Blind missed a great chance to put Ajax ahead late on before Matip – who last scored in the Champions League nine years ago – rose to head the winner, which was confirmed by goal-line technology.
