The Premier League team could have easily gone out of sight before half time because several of their players missed their chances in the first 45 minutes. If not impressive enough at opening time, the six-time winners move up a gear after the break.

That means Liverpool threatened to loosen up if Salah’s cute through ball hit the ball before Ruli could bypass, but Villarreal were able to limit the damage.
That means Didier Drogba (both 14) is now the top African goal scorer in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
