Goals from Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah sealed the deal for the visitors at the Red Bull Arena as the Austrian outfit were demoted to the Europa League.
The Croatian partnered Virgil van Dijk once more at the heart of the Merseyside club’s backline and was risked despite leaving the field injured against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Despite this, Lovren put in a solid performance as he kept one of the hottest properties in Europe, Erling Haaland, quiet.
Before picking up another injury in the 53rd minute, he made four clearances, two ball recoveries and had a pass success rate of 82% (via FotMob).
Supporters loved Lovren’s performance before picking up his knock and made their feelings clear on social media.
Here you will find some of the best comments from Liverpool fans:

Dejan Lovren is really showing off his passing range in recent tines. That pass to Salah was legit super

I like the fact that Lovren plays purely for the badge and you can see how much he has improved I would rather spend money on other areas.
