although the behaviour of a group of roma fans who attacked some of the home supporters before kick—off tarnished the build—up and will no doubt lead to questions for the authorities. having seen off the might of premier league champions manchester city here three weeks ago, the hosts went into the game as favourites. liverpool's exhilarating european adventure has owed much to the spectacular form of mo salah. and once again, the egyptian delivered in stunning style. this the 42nd and possibly the best goal of a remarkable season. ten minutes later, the striker celebrating being named player of the year this week by doubling his team's lead. salah — simply unstoppable. if the italians thought half—time would bring some relief, they were badly mistaken. the conquerors of barcelona overwhelmed, as sadio mane added a third. and then roberto firmino two more, roma's defence in ruins. anfield's joy was tempered by two late goals by the visitors,

edin dzeko and then diego perotti providing an unexpected twist. a fightback, however, that shouldn't detract from another european master class. liverpool will always have expected to use home advantage here at anfield but to score five goals tonight would have been beyond their wildest dreams. roma have already proved in this competition this year they're capable of remarkable comebacks, and they'll be dangerous in the second leg next week. but its place in the champions league final is liverpool's to lose. dan roan, bbc news at anfield. that's all from us. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a good night. good evening from bbc london news. it's being described as the biggest ever shake—up to train timetables in the uk. every service on four major franchises in and around the capital will
