#Match Report : Liverpool dominate FC Porto in Champions League Knock-out game


Sadio Mane scored a hat-trick as Liverpool marked their first Champions League knockout game for nine years with an emphatic victory at Porto in their Champions League last-16 first-leg tie.

Mane opened the scoring when home goalkeeper Jose Sa failed to hold his placed strike.

Mohamed Salah then showed wonderful composure to steer the ball home for Liverpool’s second.

With two away goals scored, the visitors could have been forgiven for taking a more conservative approach but instead they went for more.
