Liverpool's woes in the Champions League continued Wednesday as they suffered a stunning 4-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven at Anfield. The Dutch side's victory marked their first win over the Reds in the group stage at the iconic stadium in 14 attempts. PSV Eindhoven's impressive performance saw them climb to 14th in the Champions League table with eight points, while Liverpool dropped to 12th with nine points after losing nine of their last 12 games across all competitions. The game got off to a disastrous start for Liverpool when captain Virgil van Dijk's handball led to a PSV penalty in the sixth minute, which Ivan Perisic converted. However, the Reds managed to level the score in the 16th minute through Dominik Szoboszlai after a mistake from PSV keeper Matej Kovar. PSV regained the lead in the 56th minute when Guus Til poked the ball into the net after a perfectly timed run on to Mauro Junior's through ball. The Dutch side then sealed their victory with two more goals from Couhaib Driouech, who completed his double in injury time with an easy tap-in from Sergino Dest's cross. Liverpool's loss marks another low point in their season, and they will look to bounce back in their next Champions League match.
