The corner comes to nothing, but Jurgen Klopp is worried enough about the turn in fortunes to tell Ragnar Klavan to get ready to come on. He wants an extra defender in there.

Jamie: can you imagine?! Please ASRoma. Do it. Just do it for Totti
Anon: Will never, ever understand why managers substitute their best players. when the team is rampant. Guaranteed loss of momentum and goals conceded, every time. Suicide.
Rambo: 5-5 please.

Now it's Roma who have their tails up as Diego Perotti stabs just wide from Edin Dzeko's near post cross.
Liverpool's defence has fallen apart and now the nervous faces are all in the home end.
Diego Perotti pen

A gap appears in the Liverpool defence and Edin Dzeko has sight of goal, he sweeps an effort towards the target but Loris Karius is in the right position to gather the ball.
Still, Liverpool need to be careful. A second goal for Roma would really give them belief.
Edin Dzeko
The faintest glimmer of hope for Roma?
The visitors catch out Liverpool with a ball over the defence, Edin Dzeko brings it under control superbly before driving home.
It's a consolation strike on the night, but gives them something ahead of the home leg.

WB: Milner on a free. What a signing.

Salah has been the best player on the park. Two massive goals, a couple of assists. A standing ovation against his former side, what a player, what a man. Looks like he has put one foot in the final for Liverpool.
Liverpool 5-0 Roma
Anfield stands to applause Mohamed Salah as his number comes up on the fourth offiicial's board. There'll be no hat-trick for Salah, who has been sensational even by his own high standards, as he is replaced by Danny Ings for the final 15 minutes.

What Jurgen Klopp has done ever so well is sort them out defensively. The back four as well as the goalkeeper, you've got to give them huge credit.
Liverpool 5-0 Roma
Better from Roma. Loris Karius is forced into a rare save as Aleksandar Kolarov finds Patrik Schick with a cross, it's a god header but Karius holds it on the line.

Anon: If Liverpool were as destructive as this at the beginning of the season Man City would not have had it all their own way . Simply breathtaking stuff
Michal: Perhaps it's not over. You never know. But Roma looks absolutely heartbroken, clueless and helpless.
Liverpool 5-0 Roma
There's 20 minutes left in this game. Twenty minutes and Liverpool look like they could score every time they go forward.
Roma players are looking to their manager as if to say 'what do we do' but I don't think even he knows how to stop Liverpool in this sort of form.
