Liverpool catches Villarreal off guard to leave with 2-0 lead in first leg

Unai Emery’s side fell to a 2-0 deficit against Liverpool forcing. Villarreal would need to force a rebound in the subsequent leg now, Villarreal's own commitment to the season ought not to be ignored. Their disposals of Juventus and Bayern Munich raised the opposition to an alter, yet against Liverpool they lacked their past ferocious edge.

Villarreal was obviously generally worried about restricting Klopp's group. Villarreal currently needs to figure out how to some way or another to rejuvenate the tie. Liverpool’s efforts were paid off after the uneventful first half, Pervis Estupinan's 53rd-minute own goal turned the tide in Reds favor and Sadio Mane managed to add a second goal just two minutes later to hammer home the advantage.
