Diaspora star Bradley Barcola bagged a treble as Liverpool won a wild six-goal night in Austria to make it two wins from two.
Diaspora talent took centre stage in Austria as French forward Bradley Barcola, a player with African roots, scored a hat-trick to power Liverpool past LASK 6-3 in the Champions League. It was a statement night for one of the continent's most exciting heritage stars on Europe's biggest club stage.
The Reds were ruthless in attack and put six past LASK to follow up their opening result in the league phase. That makes it two wins from two in this season's competition, and the early signs say this Liverpool front line has real firepower.
Barcola was the headline act, with pace, movement and finishing that kept the home defence stretched all night. A treble in a game like this shows the kind of quality Liverpool want in the biggest matches.
LASK did not go quietly, scoring three of their own, and that will give Liverpool something to work on at the back. But the main story is at the other end, where Liverpool look dangerous and Barcola is lighting up Europe.
