Liverpool Take Control Of Champions League Semi

Liverpool took control of their Champions League semi-final with Villarreal with a deserved first-leg win at Anfield, thanks to a Jordan Henderson lob finish deflection and a typical bit of Sadio Mane magnetism.

The Reds finally broke through when Jordan Henderson’s cross was deflected in by Villarreal’s Pervis Estupinan. Mane doubled the lead when he poked home Mohamed Salah’s pass.

Thiago hit the post and Fabinho and Andy Robertson had goals disallowed for offside in a win that should have been by more goals. Meanwhile, Mane has equalled Didier Drogba’s record as the highest-scoring African player in the Champions League knockout stages scoring a goal against Villarreal.
