Mo Salah scored his 50th European goal for Liverpool as the Reds squeezed past Lille with ten men.
The victory means Liverpool have secured their place in the last 16 of this year's Champions League, the first team to do so under the Swiss model. A largely lukewarm first half came alive after 34 minutes when Curtis Jones played a brilliant through ball for Salah to bury the home side.
The home team dominated after the break and got a boost when Aissa Mandi received two yellow cards. But three minutes later, Lille were remarkably level when Jonathan David scored the equalizer from close range.
The goal shocked the home crowd, but Harvey Elliott put Arne Slot's side back in front a short time later through a huge deflection from Ngal Ayel Mukau. Here, Mirror Football looks at the biggest talking points from Liverpool's win.
Liverpool makes history
Tuesday's victory made Liverpool the first team to book a place in the last 16 of this year's Champions League. It is a historic achievement for Arne Slot's side as this is the first year the Swiss model has been used.
While it won't carry a trophy, claiming first place will certainly provide a confidence boost heading into the knockouts.
With their place in the last 16 secured, boss Slot has the chance to give some of his players a well-deserved rest in the final league match against PSV, should he choose to do so.
Salah's latest milestone
It's been a ridiculous season for Mo Salah and on Tuesday he reached another milestone. Salah struck eleven minutes before half-time and brought a fairly banal match to life with a neat finish past Lucas Chevalier.
The goal was his fiftieth European goal since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2017. He had already become the Reds' all-time top scorer in Europe, with Tuesday's goal extending his record.
The Egyptian now has nine more European goals for Liverpool than former record holder Steven Gerrard. His match-winning performance is the latest evidence that Reds chiefs should give him a new contract.
Jones sends a message
Curtis Jones made headlines on Monday with his comments about Eden Hazard and Salah. The midfielder claimed the Frenchman was a better player than his current Liverpool teammate.
Although the midfielder took quick action to play down the comments, they did raise eyebrows among Reds fans. Jones firmly put any questions of loyalty aside with his performance against Lille.
He produced a brilliant through ball that perfectly set up Salah to open the scoring. That assist should go a long way in calming the tensions that had arisen following his comments about Hazard.
The weakness of the reds is clear
It was a largely comfortable evening for Liverpool, although there is one thing Slot will keep in mind ahead of the summer transfer window. The main source of hope for Lille came from outside.
Slot opted to leave first-choice full-backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold on the bench, while Kostas Tsimikas and Conor Bradley stepped up. However, the duo were unconvincing and both were mediocre in the build-up to Lille's goal.
With Alexander-Arnold heading for the exit at the end of his contract and Robertson having a tough campaign, it might be time for the Reds to look for a few
David makes his mark
Jonathan David is a man in demand, with Manchester United and Arsenal among the clubs chasing his signature. It was a tough evening for the striker, but he made sure he left his mark on the match in style.
David had very little serve, but he scored with his one real chance to take things to the next level. After Hákon Haraldsson's shot was blocked, David was on hand to score the equalizer, showing he has what it takes to score against an elite defense.
