 Matchday one from the UEFA Europa League took place earlier on Thursday and for many Liverpool fans It was an unfamiliar sight to see their beloved reds in this year's tournament Group E is where we'll start in the early kickoff on Sportsmax Liverpool traveled to Austria to take on last we have the highlights So where we go? It is Liverpool who get things moving on a run of four wins in a row To Mikas again Floated nicely doesn't reach Van Dijk nearly did Chance now And it's a corner for last Elliott could bring it under his spell Up to the edge of the box Flecker waiting for that one. Oh what a great strike it was Look how easily they were caught out here All went into the box Flecker stayed out of it one touch to set and then that Nobody got close enough to stop him like getting ready to try and make contact with this corner. Here he is at the back Say it by LaValle Darwin Núñez thought it equalized Elliott is by Chetich Block but not away, and he's given a penalty to the referee here. Lewis Diaz went down Last can't believe it He didn't make contact with the ball. He did get a bit of Lewis Diaz Núñez scores and Liverpool are level. Endo rocked Good challenge from Jules Harveld Has a look and a shot. Keller has got it away That goes look in Ada Where's that got nobody knows it's on the floor. It's Lubey Chich What a wonderful block by the left foot of Keller Graven Beck Gomez trying to support really good ball in. Oh, what a fine goal That has flowed into the last net Lewis Diaz with the finish It's a boss fly It doesn't matter what team you're going to field it happens again and again. There's Darwin Núñez Here's Mo Salla. Mo Salla gets through the gap. Oh and finds another one Token it through the legs of LaValle Right on cue they do So last get half time we're thinking about what might be Could have been a really famous night in their history Yes, so Liverpool having fallen behind in the 14th minute produced a three second half goals courtesy of Darwin Núñez Lewis Diaz and Mohamed Salla to come away with a 3-1 win Brent Sancho is our football correspondent on duty today and he joins us to recap the action from today's Europa League Brent, how are you doing? I'm great. Thank you very much Riccardo and I promise I would not put any of your property up for back today Thank you very much. I really appreciate that although you could have put some on Liverpool Despite not starting the strongest team they went behind after 14 minutes But their quality really showed in that second half Yes, I think it's a fourth game out of five this season where they've had to come from behind after conceding early Despite it not being the regular starting lineup that we've seen from Liverpool Throughout the season it's still quite a strong lineup Of course that was captained by Vujavandai, but give last credit They made it very very tough for Liverpool You know, Thursday, Thursday night games are normally quite tough for the top tier teams in Europe Especially in England when they have to come across and play in this Europa tournament Of course, Liverpool is a team that has graced the Champions League for many many years I mean very successful. So coming out on a thursday was difficult and last made sure That they recognize that Thursday night is always going to be difficult Yeah, that 14th minute opener for Lask. I want you to talk us through that goal Brent, just take us through that opening goal Well, it was an unbelievable strike and it really came From, you know, good play from Lask. I mean the touches first first draw And the finish gave, of course, to Kipa Kela absolutely no chance It's a strike that I don't think any Liverpool defender in the box expected It was a very clean hit, but it was not in short of what Lask deserved They really played well in the first half and they gave as much as they got And they made it very very difficult at that point Ricardo, you know There was a feeling that if they performed similarly in the second half they could of course Get a famous victory Yeah, of course that victory was not to come at Liverpool taking charge a number of changes made By Jurgen Klopp in that second half and for the most part they worked a Mohammed Salah One of those coming on as well and impacting the game Yeah, the quality really shone through and it's an it's an indictment to the type of signings that Liverpool has I've been able to make this season a lot of times We've heard from Jurgen Klopp in previous years about the depth of his squad and the lack thereof And obviously now He has that ability to make those sorts of pedigree changes that just took the game away from Lask And I think that was a different Especially in the middle of the park and of course when Salah came in a little bit later on That certainly was a bit too much for the men from Austria As much as I can give them credit for what they've been able to do in that particular game What Liverpool? What Liverpool have in terms of an entire unit Is certainly superb and and of course we've seen that so far in the way they have started the epl All right, Brent, let's set across to group a where last season's europea conference league champions westam Hosted a serbian team back at the polar Forward charges from storage finding yuvanovich And the shutters are very comfortable save for Fabiansky So danger here care a good save Really good save with his legs by nicola simmich Don't keep it simmich Reacting with his feet To make the save looking for four hours. It was Anticipated and cut out momentarily by Kulveljic And deflecting wide it's to matthair georgevich. We did. Well war prouse Of donna Of donna has lost it and they're in real trouble here can he finish? Yes, he can petar stanich Has fired tsc bachka topola into the most unliked danyings ben rama kudos in the middle ben rama good feet And kudos is there kudos Equalizes for west ham care Plans behind for a west ham corner carefully Defended needs to be very careful there as the corner comes in it's And kudos has got his goal this time And west ham have scored twice In the space of about four minutes Ben rama from tomas socek Jumping in front of marco raconyats who just come on wearing 97 so check up the touch Some very good header and west ham the holders of the aether conference league are off and running in the europea league Yeah 10 points from there first of five games in the english premier league And they got a victor west ham to start their europea league campaign Brent has a former defender How in nor do you get when you see an arrow like the one made by uguana today? Yeah, it's uh, it's uh something that you don't like to see, you know, it's unfortunate. It does happen in the game, um, but um Look, I think to prevent of that experience of what he's done for the club He could be forgiven for it, but it's uh It came at such a wrong time and that's why i'm smoking because they really struggled with ham To find fluidity and some coherence in the game And I think when the error came it just made it worse And as a defender despite all of the errors that Might happen up front when you make that type of error that he did. Yeah You know, you you make life very very difficult for your team Yeah, and of course at that stage west ham going behind they were behind for another 20 minutes after that But they would find the equalizer kudis thought he had the first goal But the 23 year old ganayans scored 17 goals for ayats and he impacted today's game was Um a significant part of the turnaround for west ham mohammed kudis Yeah, I think his his impact of course that the bringing michael antonio also coming on to make it two up front Uh, but kudosan is a direct play uh running at players Really changed the format that they the way that the game was going Uh, of course tsc defended very very deeply, but now they're able to penetrate And what pros and of course and his capabilities from dead boards as well Was a big reason for for west ham turnaround But again, you know these Thursday night games managers tend to think they need to make a whole host of changes Because of all the changes. I think it's about nine changes west ham made into their Starting lineup tonight, and I think when you make those sort of changes It does have an impact as I said in the fluidity and the and the team chemistry in the way they want to play But credit to the ones that we just mentioned because of their influence west ham was able to turn things around Yeah in 25 seconds brun talk to me about michael antonio He got three pretty good looks at goal and wasn't able to convert on any of them Yeah, he would be disappointed that he didn't hit the back of the net But I think his overall play his presence up front. He is a focal point, and he brings a lot to this west ham team I think that in particular. He would be happy when I'm sure David moys would be happy with that as well and what he was able to contribute Yeah, thanks very much Brent. It was a pleasure speaking with you as usual and lots of football over the next Many many months.
