Another Mohamed Salah masterclass helped Liverpool take control of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final – but two late Roma away goals gave the Italian side a glimmer of hope for the second leg. Salah scored twice and assisted two other goals. From Roma squad, first Edin Dzeko lashed home from Radja Nainggolan’s pass, then Diego Perotti put a penalty into the top right corner. However, they finally succumbed to Liverpool’s 5 goals.
