Porto’s Felipe clears under pressure from Liverpool’s Sadio Mane during their UEFA Champions League quarter-final, match at Anfield stadium in Liverpool, on April 9, 2019. — AFP: Liverpool closed in on a Champions League semi-final meeting with Barcelona or Manchester United as Porto were swept aside 2-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at Anfield.
Liverpool thrashed the Portuguese giants 5-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie last season and the scoreline could have been just as embarrassing for Sergio Conceicao’s men had the hosts been more accurate in front of goal. Minutes later Firmino was galloping into acres of space in behind the Porto defence, but this time his deflected effort drifted just beyond Casillas’s far post.
Soon, though, Alexander-Arnold was helping twist the knife into Porto at the other end with his eighth assist of the season. However, Klopp’s men seemed keen to kill the tie off before their trip to Portugal as Firmino blazed a great chance from Henderson’s pinpoint pass off target.
