When the game resumed in the second half, both teams were in search of their second goal and kept each other at bay before Spanish midfielder Pablo Fornals found the back of the net in the 67th minute. Things did not end there and the Reds found themselves in a spot of bother after the French centre-back Kurt Zouma added one more goal to the home side's tally in the 74th minute and even though Belgian forward Divock Origi's goal in the 83rd minute restored some hopes for the visitors, there were no more contributions from the Jurgen Klopp-managed side and they ended up losing the contest.
