Liverpool, the favorites, definitely got the better of Roma, huge underdogs even after defeating Barcelona, and proved they belong in this tournament. Liverpool was 2-0 up after the first half, with both goals being scored by the breakout star, Mohamed Salah. Not long after the intermission, Sadio Mane put in another for Liverpool, followed by two more goals from Roberto Firmino within 10 minutes of each other. This brought Liverpool to a 5-0 lead and many thought this game was in the bag. Eventually, in the 80′ minute Edin Dzeko brought one goal back for Roma, and soon after a penalty was called in favor of Roma, which was scored nicely by Diego Perotti.

This result is not a great one for Roma, but it’s much better than 5-0, and knowing they can comeback from 3 goals, as shown in last stage of the Champions League vs Barcelona, hope is not entirely lost for them.
