Liverpool will enter their UEFA Champions League second-leg tie against Benfica with a 3-1 lead, putting them in a healthy position to progress to the semi-finals.
Goals from Ibrahim Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz gave Jurgen Klopp's side the win in Portugal and avoiding defeat at Anfield next week will set up a tie against Spanish side Villarreal or German giants Bayern Munich - who played out a 1-0 win for the Yellow Submarines on Spanish turf.
Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery masterminded the victory thanks to Arnaut Danjuma's first-half strike. Emery will be disappointed his side didn't win by more given the chances they spurned and take a bigger advantage to Germany next week, where Bayern will have the chance to turn things around at the Allianz Arena.
