Heist at the Parc des Princes: How Liverpool stole the first leg

PARIS -- Liverpool have put themselves in the driver's seat to secure qualification for quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League after substitute Harvey Elliott scored late on to seal a 1-0 victory in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot warned ahead of the match that his team must be prepared to "suffer" against the French champions and that certainly proved to be the case as the Premier League leaders were outclassed for much of the match at the Parc des Princes.
