Liverpool scores 10,000th goal in 2-0 win over Midtjylland

Diogo Jota scored 10,000th goal in Liverpool's 128-year history to lead six-time European champion to a 2-0 win over FC Midtjylland in Champions League on Tuesday.

Mohamed Salah converted a penalty in stopp time to complete win for English champions, who have opened Group D with back-to-back victories — having beaten Ajax 1-0 last week.

Jota's historic goal came in 55th minute when he tapped in from close range following a well-worked move involving Xherdan Shaqiri and Trent Alexander-Arld.

negative for Liverpool at Anfield was an injury to Fabinho which forced off Brazil midfielder and deepened team's early-season defensive woes.

Fabinho has been filling in at center back for Virgil van Dijk, who is likely out for many months after damaging cruciate knee ligaments. With Joel Matip currently struggling for fitness, Liverpool has just one fit senior center back in Joe Gomez.

Midtjylland, Danish champion playing its first away game in Europe's elite competition, troubled Liverpool at times and wasted two great chances — both of which fell to same player.

Anders Dreyer was denied by goalkeeper Alisson in a one-on-one chance in opening minutes, n chipped a shot into side-netting when through on goal in 89th, when score was 1-0.

Midtjylland opened group with a 4-0 loss to Atalanta.
