Alexis Sanchez picks up a second yellow card just TWO MINUTES after Lautaro Martinez scored at Anfield, with the Man United flop's sending off preventing Inter Milan from springing an upset

Alexis Sanchez earned himself a second yellow card just two minutes after Inter Milan restored hope of a potential Champions League comeback away Liverpool on Tuesday night.

Inter needed to overcome a two-goal deficit at Anfield to reach the quarter-finals of the competition, having lost 2-0 against Jurgen Klopp's men in Italy last month.

And in the 61st minute of Tuesday's last-16 second leg they took a huge step towards doing so when Lautaro Martinez rifled a sensational long-range effort into the top-right corner.
