Salah scores again as Liverpool beat Manchester City to reach semi-finals in Champions League

 

  Egyptian Mohammed Salah scores again as Liverpool reached their first Champions League semi-final for 10 years after coming from behind to win at Manchester City and secure a 5-1 aggregate win.

   The home side were trailing 3-0 from the first leg, but Gabriel Jesus scored after two minutes following Raheem Sterling's pass. Bernardo Silva hit the post before Leroy Sane had a goal disallowed for offside despite James Milner getting the last touch. Mohamed Salah who scored in the first leg, equalised on the night.

   Salah's 39th goal of the season, a smart finish after Sadio Mane had gone to ground inside the City penalty area, left the hosts needing four goals. Roberto Firmino earned Liverpool their third win over City this season after a mistake by Nicolas Otamendi.
