Joe Gomez strutted to another unobtrusive performance on Wednesday as Liverpool beat Red Star Belgrade to go top of their Champions League group.

The defender once again dominated in all aspects of the game to continue his outstanding start to the season in his preferred centre-back role.

Besides shrugging off physical challenges both aerially and on the ground with some ease, the England international persisted to flaunt his reliability as a distributor out from the back.

 

Any efforts from Red Star to bypass the superiority of Virgil van Dijk by instead latching onto the 21-year-old proved in vain. A scarily commanding and serene display from both further supported expectations of them becoming one of the Premier League’s most accomplished centre-back partnerships.

Rarely was Gomez forced to stretch his legs. On the odd occasion he was, the visitors had no answer for his athleticism.

One moment saw the Liverpool man produce an incredible recovery run to win a ball he had no right to beat his opponent to.
