Liverpool secured a comeback win 2-1 at home against Atletico Madrid with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, giving Andoni Iraola his first Champions League win as head coach.

Liverpool got their UEFA Champions league campaign off to the perfect start as they came from behind to beat Atlético Madrid 2-1 -- with goals from Dominik Szboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister.

Iraola will be relieved that his team were able to shake off Marcos Llorente’s opening goal — remarkably, his fifth at Anfield — courtesy of Dominik Szoboszlai (after a lovely backheel by Ronald Araujo) and a thunderbolt from Alexis Mac Allister, whose future has been the subject of more debate this week.

Alexis Mac Allister scored a brilliant winner to hand Andoni Iraola's Liverpool victory after they recovered from a goal down at Anfield to Atletico Madrid in their Champions League opener.
