Ibrahima Konate equals Harry Kane and Neymar Champions League record after Liverpool goal

Ibrahima Konate's goal against Benfica drew him level with Harry Kane and Neymar with two goals in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League over the past five years.

Konate headed Liverpool ahead just after 20 minutes before Matias Ramos pulled Benfica level 12 minutes later. It was his second goal this season, the other coming in the first leg of the tie. Like his goal on Wednesday night, Konate had given his side the lead last week before they went on to secure a 3-1 win away from home.

His two goals have saw him match the same output as Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar. The latter two have struggled to beat the goalkeeper in key games of Europe's premier cup competition for various reasons, from injuries to not qualifying for the tournament when it comes to the England captain.
