Liverpool's Sadio Mane scores their third goal Photo: Reuters/Matthew ChildsAfter a day of torrential rain, a downpour that continued into this match, Porto attempted to wash away Liverpool. It spread panic in the Porto team and they were soon further behind when James Milner's powerful drive beat Jose Sa and cannoned back off the post. However, as they pushed forward, it was Liverpool who struck with a devastating counter-attack involving Mane, Salah and Firmino who started it with a superb flick. They also had a number of away goals to bolster their chances even if Porto rallied.
