Genk 1-4 Liverpool: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain stars as Reds end Champions League away-day hoodoo

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain struck twice as Liverpool eased to a 4-1 Champions League victory over Genk in Belgium on Wednesday night.

Oxlade-Chamberlain made the most of a rare start as he scored from the edge of the area to give Liverpool the lead after just two minutes.

The former Arsenal midfielder doubled Liverpool's lead with a superb, outside-of-the-boot finish from the edge of the area in the 57th minute.

Mohamed Salah struck a fourth for the visitors three minutes from time, and Stephen Odey's immediate response was a mere consolation for Genk.

Relive the action as it happened with David Lynch in Genk!
