Vinicius Jr's brutal Anfield gesture and Jurgen Klopp response spotted - 6 things missed

Real Madrid scored five unanswered goals in a jaw-dropping Champions League comeback against Liverpool, winning 5-2.

Anfield was left stunned on Tuesday watching a barnstorming round-of-16 first-leg tie, as Vincius Junior and Karim Benzema each scored twice either side of a bullet Eder Militao header after the hosts had taken what looked to be a commanding early lead. Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah had put the Reds 2-0 up after quarter of an hour, but somehow Liverpool imploded.

A blunder for the usually reliable Alisson Becker allowed Vincius Jr to make it 2-2, following his cracker of a first strike, before Militao and Benzema joined the fun in the second half. The result leaves Jurgen Klopp and co with a mountain to climb in the second leg, due to be held at the Santiago Bernabeu in three weeks' time.
