Former Republic of Ireland international and talkSPORT commentator Andy Townsend described Liverpool’s display as ‘insipid’, and the stats agreed. Defensive midfielder Fabinho made a rare and unexpected run into the opposition box, and sent the ball through the legs of a below-par Geronimo Rulli to help the Reds regain a stunning lack of composure.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were finally back in their comfort zone when Mane rounded Rulli for his 24th Champions League goal, which also saw him equal Frank Lampard for knockout goals in the competition.
