Liverpool set astonishing Champions League record after Villarreal win

Liverpool's pulsating come-from-behind victory against Villarreal has not only kept the Reds on course for a seventh European Cup but also set an incredible new record in the process.

Jurgen Klopp's side looked to be in serious trouble on Tuesday evening when their 2-0 first leg lead was wiped out by first half goals from Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin. But three goals in 15 minutes after the break, via Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane turned the match on it's head and secured a passage to the Paris final on May 28 for the Reds.

The result confirmed another classic European away win for Liverpool, but in doing so they have now set a quite remarkable new Champions League record. The Merseyside club has become the first team ever to win all six of their Champions League away matches in a single campaign.
