Rasmus Kristensen fired in the opener after questionable defending from sub Conor Bradley, who had been caught out of position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristensen was found with acres of space and then managed to arrow his shot through a sea of Liverpool players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FT: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-5 Liverpool<br><br>Arne Slot&#39;s side end their losing streak in style. ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UCL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Mgz5muCuCq\">pic.twitter.com\/Mgz5muCuCq<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/1981102233174626688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It meant that Liverpool have now kept just two clean sheets in their last 18 games in all competitions.
