Liverpool beat Roma in Champs League thriller

Liverpool are taking a three goal advantage into the second-leg of the Champions League semi-final tie against Roma following a thrilling night under the lights at Anfield.

Mo Salah showed everyone why he was awarded the PFA Player of the Year award a few days earlier with two cool finishes rippling the visitor's net in the home-side's 5-2 victory.

Firmino also bagged two goals, after Mane slotted one away following an assist from Salah.

The tie looked done with a 5-0 and 10 minutes left remaining but Roma kept some hopes alive by bombarding Liverpool and taking two away goals back to Italy.

Dzeko netted the first and Perotti converted a penalty after Milner was found to have handled the ball in the box.
