A stunning Liverpool performance saw them win 5-0 away to Porto on Wednesday night, in what was a memorable Champions League victory.
The Reds arrived at Estadio do Dragao expecting a difficult examination of their credentials, but it was to be one-way traffic throughout.
Jurgen Klopp made three changes to the team that beat Southampton 2-0 on Sunday afternoon, with Dejan Lovren, Jordan Henderson and James Milner coming in for Joel Matip, Emre Can and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Liverpool took the lead midway through the first half, with Sadio Mane‘s relatively tame effort making its way past Jose Sa.
Celebrations ensued…
Yet another piece of Mohamed Salah magic doubled the Reds’ lead before the interval, as he tucked the ball home brilliantly from close range.
Klopp’s men were 3-0 up early in the second half following a flowing move, as Mane got his second of the evening.
After Roberto Firmino added a fourth, the stage was set for Mane to take home the match ball, as the Senegalese thumped home from 20 yards to complete the scoring.
It was quite a night for Klopp, who has surely inspired his side to the Champions League quarter-finals.
Liverpool now have a 10-day break before their next match—a Premier League clash with West Ham at Anfield on February 24.
