A Sadio Mane hat-trick and further goals from Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino put the Reds in a great position heading into the second leg, and speaking on RTÉ's coverage of the game, Dunphy was full of praise for Liverpool . "It was a great performance from a lot of players, and collectively," Dunphy said. "Mane with a hat-trick, Milner was really good, Firmino was really good, Salah was amazing. To see a Premier League club go there and do that, when you put it together with Spurs against Juventus - we used to sit here for years until recently saying 'the Premier League is overrated, and over-hyped' but now two nights back-to-back, we have had outstanding performances. That was an outstanding performance by Liverpool."
