Liverpool, Tottenham through to last 16

LIVERPOOL has moved into the last 16 of the Champions League following a 1-0 win over Napoli at Anfield yesterday.

Mohamed Salah netted the winner in the 34th minute in front of a delirious home crowd. But it would have been Liverpool missing out had Alisson not produced a reflex save to deny Napoli substitute Arkadiusz Milik in the second minute of stoppage time.

Tottenham also progressed with Lucas Moura scoring the all-important equaliser in a 1-1 draw away to Barcelona.

Spurs were aided by Inter Milan’s surprise 1-1 draw at home with Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.

Moura scored from a pass by Harry Kane in the 85th minute, cancelling out a superb early solo goal by Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele. Barcelona rested Lionel Messi for the first hour having already locked up first place before the match.

In France, Raphael Guerreiro scored twice as Borussia Dortmund concluded its group stage campaign with a 2-0 win at Monaco that sealed top spot for the German club.

Guerreiro scored a goal in each half at Stade Louis II against a poor Monaco side that struggled throughout.

Dortmund finished level on points with Atletico in Group A and sealed top spot thanks to a better goal difference after Atletico’s 0-0 at Club Brugge.

PSG, meanwhile, went on the rampage against Socceroo Milos Degenek’s Red Star Belgrade beating the home team 4-1 to top Group C.

All three forwards Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe scored in an intimidating atmosphere at Red Star’s Rajko Mitic stadium, and midfielder Marquinhos was also on target to cancel out a sumptuous volley by Marko Gobeljic.

Earlier, Porto struggled to a 3-2 away win over Galatasaray, but the Turks stayed third in Group D to secure a spot in the Europa League’s round of 32.

A desperate Lokomotiv Moscow went down to an injury-hit Schalke 04 1-0.
