Luis Diaz completed his first-half strike after Casemiro passed the ball back into the middle of the park.
Arne Slot will be jubilant at half-time as his side go into the double-header against bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The warning signs were there for Erik ten Hag’s men when Trent Alexander-Arnold had his early strike disallowed for offside by Mohamed Salah in the build-up.
But the visitors finally broke the deadlock thanks to a back post header from Diaz after a pass from Casemiro.
The Brazilian was again at fault in the Colombian’s second game, losing the ball in his area as Mohamed Salah combined with Diaz in the area.
“Two Casemiro mistakes, two Diaz goals” 😬
What an ending this is 👌 pic.twitter.com/lNaWEnBXUs
