Liverpool will head to Spain next week with a significant advantage thanks to their 2-0 Champions League semi-final win over Villarreal on Wednesday night.
It wasn’t easy for the Merseysiders though who faced an organised and resolute opponent that proved difficult to break down.
The hosts dominated much of the game but it took an own goal eight minutes into the second half to break the deadlock before Sadio Mane poked his effort home just two minutes later to seal the victory.
