Liverpool reached the Champions League Round of 16 in style after annihilated visitors Spartak Moscow 7-0 in their last group game at Anfield on Wednesday.

Shorn of captain Jordan Henderson, who watched from the bench, the Russians were torn apart with the Africans playing a weighty role.

Hat-trick hero Philippe Coutinho set the ball rolling with his fourth minute penalty as the shell-shocked visitors were totally outclassed.

Though the hosts commanding first half had guaranteed victory that did not prevent Sadio Mane from getting a second half double – his second and third of the competition.
