Liverpool 5 Roma 2: Salah shines but late comeback offers Giallorossi hope

Mohamed Salah produced a dazzling display as Liverpool beat Roma 5-2, although two late away goals could change the semi-final tie.

Liverpool seized control of their Champions League semi-final tie against Roma with a 5-2 first-leg win, although a late revival from the Italian side offers hope of a second-leg comeback.

Mohamed Salah scored twice and set up goals for Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, who added another to make it 5-0, before Edin Dzeko and Diego Perotti struck in the space of four minutes late on.

Roma must now match the exploits of their remarkable quarter-final comeback against Barcelona if they are to win the tie.
