Liverpool lightning leaves Roma reeling at Anfield

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed the "genius" of Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian came back to haunt former club Roma in spectacular style with two goals and two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 semifinal first-leg demolition of the Italians at Anfield.

However, Liverpool's night was soured by the concession of two late away goals and a serious injury to midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain that looks set to end his season and World Cup chances with England.

Roberto Firmino also scored twice and Sadio Mane netted Liverpool's other goal to make up for missing a series of gilt-edged chances as the scoreline did anything but flatter the host.
