The Reds put their domestic troubles behind them when they reached the knockout stage of the European competition.
Needing a draw to reach the last 16, the Reds were fortunate not to be behind before they got on the board.
The summer signing struck a post with an open goal in front of him, but he should have doubled the lead before the break.
Shortly after the restart, the Uruguay forward headed in Andy Robertson's corner to make up for his earlier mistake.
Harvey Elliott, who plays for the England Under-21s, added the third by lashing into the roof of the net from a tight angle.
They knew a draw would be enough to get into the last 16 for the sixth year in a row.
In the knowledge that their place is assured, the Reds will host Napoli in the final round of group-stage games.
There's more to come.
