FT: Liverpool 5-2 Roma. What a game of football! A brace each from Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino along with a goal from Sadio Mane looked to have Liverpool in cruise control, but the visitors will take heart from their two late goals ahead of next week's second leg.

69'
GOAL! LIVERPOOL! FIRMINO! The Brazilian meets a corner from the right to head beyond Alisson and into the far corner.
67'
File this one under shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Gonalons and Perotti replace De Rossi and Jesus for Roma.
64'
Alisson drops a corner from the right and Mane heads it goalwards but his defenders bail him out.
61'
GOAL! LIVERPOOL! FIRMINO! More magic from Mo Salah! A shake of the hips sees him slip past Jesus, before he squares for Firmino to turn home into an empty net from close range. What a performance! What a night! What a player Mo Salah is!


Goal mane 3-0
36'
GOAL! LIVERPOOL! SALAH!


28'
WHAT A CHANCE! Firmino sets Mane racing away and he leaves Manolas for dead. The Senegalese is through on goal but with only Alisson to beat he can only blaze over. You've got to score those!


27' Milner's ball to the far post is headed to safety, before Alisson claims a cross from the right.

26' Juan Jesus gets the first card of the game for a late challenge on Mane. It's probably too far out for a shot though. Milner is over it.

25' Henderson makes a good challenge to halt Under on the counter


18'Wijnaldum replaces Oxlade-Chamberlain.

18'Lovren comes across to head clear after Dzeko looked to have found Under with a neat flick.

15'
Oxlade-Chamberlain makes a good challenge on Kolarov but he appears to have hurt his knee in the process. This could be bad news for Liverpool and England.

14'A decent move from Roma ends with Kolarov crossing from the left but Karius is up to claim

11' Florenzi drifts in behind Robertson down the right but the ball too him is too long and sails out for a goal kick.

8'
A cross-cum-shot from Nainggolan from the right harmlessly drifts across the box with no player in a red or white shirt anywhere near it.
8'
Oxlade-Chamberlain fizzes in a low effort from 25 yards but it is straight at Alisson. Quite an open game already here.
7'
No such flag problems for the lino on the other side as he penalises Under.
5'
CHANCE! Salah slips in Firmino but his touch takes him a little wide and he can only slide a low effort across the face of goal. A warning shot from the hosts.

5'
A brief pause in play as the lino is issued with a new flag.
3'
Salah gets the better of his man down the right and looks to curl one but it is straight at Alisson. A lively start to this one!
2'
The first effort of the game comes in from Strootman 25 yards out but Karius safely pouches it.
1'
An early show of Dzeko's strength as he swats Lovren aside as if here were a fly. That battle could prove key this evening.
