Arsene Wenger has hailed Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane for their contribution in Liverpool's Champions League semi-final win against Villarreal.

Both players were instrumental in Liverpool's 3-2 comeback victory in Spain on Tuesday night which saw Jurgen Klopp's side book their place in the final after a 5-2 aggregate win.

The former Arsenal manager described the pair's performances as 'monstrous' as the Reds overturned a 2-0 half-time deficit by scoring three times in a 12-minute goal rush.
