The 19-year-old Norwegian was replaced with a quarter left and had a couple of chances to score and thus become the first to score in his first six Champions League matches. That suite now stopped for five games.

- We scored two fantastic goals and could have done six or seven which is completely crazy. We won the team and we won the match and everything ended happily, says coach Jürgen Klopp to BT Sport.

In 99 hot seconds at the start of the second half, Liverpool clutched the necessary grip. Sadio Mané stormed on the left and sent the ball to Naby Keita who headed in 1-0. Both players have a past in Salzburg.

Precision target of Salah

99 seconds after the lead, Mohamed Salah bounced 2-0 for Liverpool. He was nicely forwarded by captain Jordan Henderson and rounded goalkeeper Cican Stankovic but ended up out of position far out and far down the right. After a miracle of precision, Salah managed to get the ball in from a minimal angle with the "golf putt" from 20 meters. Salah had burned a couple of much better chances earlier in the match. It took the spirit out of Salzburg to settle for the Europa League this spring.

At a profit, Salzburg had gone to eighth at Liverpool's expense.

Napoli stormed early in the 4-0 win against Genk, securing the second CL eighth place from the group. Despite the win and the advance, Italian newspapers write that coach Carlo Ancelotti will be replaced by former Milan profile Gennaro Gattuso, reports the AP.
