Match Highlights
47′. 1:0. GOAL! Jota scores. Alexander-Arnold’s lovely corner-kick causes havoc and bouncing to Fabinho. Unselfishly, the Brazil international puts his header across the face of goal for Jota, who to nod in from close range.
51′. 1:1. Gibbs-White keeps the ball between two defenders and pass to the right side for Williams, who strikes first time. It beats Alisson after a deflection off Robertson.
55′. 2:1. GOAL! Jota scores second. Robertson’s free-kick from the left finds Jota in the box. No.20 has time to bring the ball down with his chest, before keeping it up with his knee and finally picking out a powerful volley that beats Navas at his far post.
67′. 2:2. A long throw into the area and Van Dijk wins the battle, but he heads it directly to an open Gibbs-White. Nottingham player swipes a half-volley into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
70′. 3:2. GOAL! Mo scores! Alexander-Arnold swings the ball into the far post where it’s met by Salah, whose first-time effort despite being off-balance beats Navas that goes in off the post.
