Liverpool threw away a two-goal lead but willed their way to a 3-2 win away at 10-man Atletico Madrid in the Champions League Group B on Tuesday night.
Mohamed Salah grabbed a brace as his late Ballon d'Or push continued, while Antoine Griezmann also bagged two but saw red for a dangerous challenge in the second half.
Salah continued his remarkable run of form with a well-taken goal after just eight minutes. The Egyptian cut inside past three Atletico defenders, drilled a shot towards goal, and Geoffrey Kondogbia deflected the ball past the helpless Jan Oblak.
Naby Keita doubled the lead just five minutes later with a brilliant volley from the edge of the Atletico area after Felipe failed to clear a routine cross.
But the hosts pulled one back just before the 20-minute mark. An Atletico corner broke to Koke on the edge of the Liverpool area, and his shot was deflected in by Antoine Griezmann, even though Thomas Lemar was in an offside position and prevented Joel Matip from blocking it.
