Liverpool go crazy on Twitter after Reds’ nerve-racking 5-2 win vs AS Roma in CL semi-final

AS Roma produced a stunning comeback to beat Barcelona in the quarter-final stage of the Champions League. They tried to pull off something similar at Anfield but Liverpool beat the Italians 5-2.

It was a high-octane encounter as one might have expected. Right from the starting whistle to the final one, tensions were high.

We got to see more of Mohamed Salah’s brilliance as Liverpool completely dominated the proceedings for a good majority of the game. Our Egyptian marvel scored a stunning brace which was followed by a sweet goal from Sadio Mane in the first half.

After the break, Roberto Firmino joined the party and scored a spectacular brace. With 5 goals in the bag, we looked set to travel to Kiev.

However, Roma stepped up to prove why they should never be written off. Edin Dzeko scored a goal in the 81st minute which was followed by Diego Perotti’s spot-kick. The scoreline read 5-2.

At the end of the day, Liverpool might have won but a tough encounter awaits us as in the second leg. Much as we would have liked to retain our 5-goal lead, we must now focus on preparing for the second leg.

We are still ahead by 3 goals and that should provide us with a comfortable cushion. Regardless, it was a brilliant game of football and our fans went crazy on Twitter. Here are some of the best tweets from our fellow supporters:
