LIVERPOOL, England — Liverpool created a slew of chances but needed two set pieces to beat Rangers 2-0 at Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday. The game between last season's runners-up in England and Scotland was a one-sided contest that could have seen Jurgen Klopp's team rack up a much greater margin of victory.
