Football: Liverpool survive Salzburg test to reach Champions League last 16

SALZBURG, Austria - Liverpool struck twice in two minutes through Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah to avoid an embarrassing early Champions League exit by winning 2-0 in Salzburg on Tuesday .

"When we had the ball we had sitters and didn't score. Then Mo scored the most difficult situation of the whole night - he scored that goal," the German added. Liverpool needed goalkeeper Alisson Becker to be at his best early on as the Brazilian blocked from Takumi Minamino and Haaland.KEITA PUNISHES FORMER CLUB Salah dragged his first big chance wide on his favoured left foot at the end of a brilliant Liverpool break from one end of the field to the other.

Salah was the culprit of more missed opportunities at the start of the second half when he fired over from Sadio Mane's brilliant through ball and seconds later he was denied by Stankovic as he tried to round the goalkeeper. Stankovic rashly rushed off his line as Mane sped onto Andy Robertson's pass and his dinked cross was headed into an unguarded net by Keita.
