LIVERPOOL 2
MANCHESTER UNITED 0
The home fans made sure to remind the travelling Manchester United support who the real kings of Europe are before kick-off and the players echoed that sentiment on the pitch tonight.
The opening goal came thanks to a dubious penalty awarded by the referee after Nathaniel Clyne went down under a soft challenge and on the edge of the box.
Daniel Sturridge's staggered run in the 20th minute allowed United goalkeeper David de Gea get a finger to it but it was not enough.
The Spain international put on a superb performance between the sticks in the first-half after which the Reds could have been four or five-nil up.
The second-half failed to produce as much excitement, in front of either goal, but eventually Liverpool went for the kill thanks to some dodgy United defending.
A cross from Adam Lallana was directed into goal by Roberto Firmino.
Meanwhile Borussia Dortmund hammered a much changed Spurs side 3-0 as Harry Kane and Moussa Dembele were left on the bench.
A Marco Reus hit a brace in that game and there was one scored by Pierre Aubemeyang.
