Liverpool have booked their spot in the Champions League last-16 after beating Atletico Madrid 2-0 at Anfield.
The Reds started the game brilliantly on yet another famous European night on Merseyside.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was pivotal to the early onslaught, setting up Diogo Jota for the opening goal after just 13 minutes.
The England right-back put the ball on a plate for Jota with a sumptuous whipped delivery.
Sadio Mane was the benefactor of Alexander-Arnold's talent for the second goal, although it was unclear whether the 23-year-old was attempting a cross or shot.
Felipe compounded what was a shocking half for Atleti when he was sent off for a swipe at Mane's heels after 36 minutes.
Former Reds striker Luis Suarez, who was booed all night at Anfield, thought he had pulled one back for his team, however VAR chalked off the goal due to offside.
Diego Simeone's side never really threatened a comeback, and Liverpool were happy to take their foot off the pedal in the second-half.
The win extends Liverpool's unbeaten start to the season to 16 games.
In total, Jurgen Klopp's side have not tasted defeat for 25 matches.
Klopp now has the benefit of resting his players for the final two group games knowing Liverpool have secured top spot in Group B.
