After another clutch performance against a dogged opponent, Liverpool take firm control of their own destiny and go into the final match of the season in a top four spot.
Below, we take a look at some of the winners and losers on this important night, and take a moment to reflect on the massive achievement the Reds are in the process of undertaking.
Winners
Big Nat Phillips: Assuming Liverpool go out and buy a new centre-back this summer, Nat Phillips will likely be no higher than fifth on the depth chart by the time next season rolls around. Nevertheless, he will have earned that spot, and the trepidation fans felt when his name popped up on the team sheet earlier in the year should have all but evaporated.

As was the case last spring, Liverpool were unable to overcome a Spanish deficit at Anfield, failing to convert their chances after an uninspired first leg, and are prematurely eliminated from the Champions League.
Below, we find some positives in it all nonetheless, and try to figure out what could be done to make this season tolerable.
Winners
Trent: Gallons of ink have been spent opining about the mind state of Trent Alexander-Arnold over the past weeks. We have little interest in re-litigating all that, but suffice to say, the 22-year old was phenomenal tonight.

Liverpool coasted past an RB Leipzig side that underestimated the challenge ahead of them in the Champions League, with dreams of Istanbul 2.0 growing among fans.
Having already taken a 2-0 lead from the ‘away’ leg of a two-legged tie held at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, the Reds put their wavering Premier League behind them to seal a ‘home’ 2-0 win on Wednesday night.
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane got the goals in a game Liverpool dominated, as though Leipzig certainly had chances, it seemed as though manager Julian Nagelsmann set his side up to fail.
The return of Fabinho to midfield helped the Reds in their ability to stifle their Bundesliga opposition, while both Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak held firm at centre-back, allowing their team-mates to thrive further forward.
