Dominik Szoboszlai’s 88th-minute penalty handed Liverpool a 1-0 win over Inter Milan at the San Siro. The spot-kick came after Alessandro Bastoni was judged to have pulled Florian Wirtz’s shirt in the box following a VAR review. Liverpool, unbeaten in four matches after nine defeats in 12, now have 12 points in the Champions League group stage, moving into the top eight and securing automatic last-16 qualification.
Earlier, Ibrahima Konate had a 32nd-minute header ruled out for offside after VAR checked the ball struck Hugo Ekitike’s arm. Mohamed Salah missed the game amid reports of a fallout with manager Arne Slot. Inter threatened through Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez but failed to score, suffering their first home defeat in 19 Champions League matches.
