Another Liverpool player scored on their international travels, and this time, it was a seemingly forgotten man in Xherdan Shaqiri.
The 29-year-old helped Switzerland record a 1-0 win over Lithuania in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday by pouncing on a mistake and opening the scoring inside two minutes.
After Diogo Jota’s brace for Portugal, it was the turn of his Liverpool teammate to add to the goals scored by those on Merseyside during this past week.
And someone like Shaqiri does need it more than most.
Whilst the £13 million (BBC Sport) trickster struggles for form and game time at Liverpool, he does seem to turn it on when he dons the colours of his country.
This will no doubt please Jurgen Klopp because it’s allowing those who haven’t had many minutes of late to get themselves in form for Liverpool’s run-in.

Not forgetting their Champions League encounter with Real Madrid and the possibility of getting back with the elite next season by adding number seven to their cabinet.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of supporters reacting to Shaqiri’s performance last night:
