Match Highlights
66′. 0:0. VAR: NO GOAL. Jota goes on a superb solo run from just inside his own half before finding Nunez on the left. The Uruguayan converts from close range into the bottom corner. But the referee has gone over to the monitor and after a VAR review, the referee decided there was a foul by Jota.
73′. 1:0. GOAL! Virgil van Dijk scores! The Reds captain effort from a wicked Alexander-Arnold free-kick is clawed out by Sa. But Jota battles to keep the ball in play and pull it back into the six-yard box to Van Dijk to nod in from close range.
77′. 2:0. GOAL! Mo Salah! The hosts combine through a one-two from Gakpo and Tsmikas on the left before the left-back race to the byline to cut the ball back for Salah in the centre. Mo Salah right footed strike from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner.
