Former defender Stephen Warnock speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live after Liverpool's 3-1 win away to AC Milan in the Champions League:

"Liverpool got a foothold in the game and Arne Slot changed things.

"The possession Liverpool had was dominant - it created so many opportunities.

"They got complete control going 3-1 ahead and it never looked in doubt from there.

"Against [Nottingham] Forest, Liverpool found it difficult to break them down and they were impatient in the way they played - today there was a real calmness.

"[The San Siro is] a difficult stadium to come to and one that can be toxic for an away team.

"The way AC Milan are struggling themselves it might not have been as hostile as we thought it would have been.

"There will be moments Arne Slot will be disappointed where AC Milan got too much possession and counter-attacked when it was a sloppy pass from a Liverpool player.

"But from 15-minutes onwards it was an extremely professional performance from Liverpool."
