Liverpool survive onslaught to beat PSG
PSG completely dominated the game, with 27 shots, and the Reds goalkeeper Alisson had to make nine saves.
But the hosts could not find an opener – and the Reds scored with their second shot of the night in the 87th minute.
Harvey Elliott netted with his first touch, after replacing Mohamed Salah, when he was picked out by Darwin Nunez.

Luis Enrique’s side were shell shocked – and how they failed to score will go down as a mystery. Well, an Alisson-shaped mystery.
PSG forwards Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in particular were unplayable at times.
Kvaratskhelia had a fine goal in the first half rightly disallowed by the video assistant referee (VAR) for offside.
The VAR again sided with Liverpool, more controversially, when Ibrahima Konate avoided a red card despite shoving Bradley Barcola over just outside the box.
Liverpool will host the second leg next Tuesday.
