The visitors' attempts to retaliate were largely ineffective, although Gordon did have a notable long-range shot, but it went wide. Conversely, Liverpool capitalized on their opponents' mistakes to seal the victory.

From a corner kick late in the match, goalkeeper Nick Pope failed to hold onto the ball, allowing center-back Ibrahima Konaté to easily tap it into the empty net, sealing a 4-1 victory.
