Jurgen Klopp's wards have not experienced any problems in the fight against the "dragons" (5: 0).
Another English team went outside the foggy Albion to host the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. Wards Jurgen Klopp from the first minutes to Dragau took the ball under their control and tried to open an account. The Portuguese were able to restrain the initial onslaught and even responded with their attacks. In the middle of the half, the "reds" nevertheless achieved their goal - Manet got a pass from Veynaldum and struck in one touch, and the ball went hand in hand with Jose Sa.
Liverpool on the reached to stop was not going to and could double advantage quickly enough. Milner excellent shot from the penalty to the bar, and Salah picked up the ball, mocked the goalkeeper and lit his name on the scoreboard. On this, perhaps, it became clear that the fate of the confrontation was resolved. The Portuguese tried to score before the break and even had the opportunity for this, but the impact of Tikinho from the middle distance quite a bit was not enough accuracy.
At the break rivals went away with the comfortable advantage of the guests. The second half of the game began at a fairly high pace. "Reds" deliberately let the enemy play "first number" and looked for happiness on counter-fronts. On the 55th minute the score changed again - an excellent outing succeeded Liverpool, and the final blow dealt Sadio Manet. A little later, the last player from the trio of attack was noted. Firmino shot the possessions of Jose Sa after the excellent transfer of Milner.
"Dragons" tried to create something at the gate of Karius, but the hosts' attacks broke down on the defense of the opponent. Liverpool, in turn, decided once again to upset Jose Sa. Manet got the ball on the outskirts of the penalty area and hit the far corner of the gate. The guests brought the match to a logical conclusion and one (or two) foot stepped into the quarterfinals.
