UCL: Salah scores as Liverpool beat Girona to reach last 16

UCL: Salah scores as Liverpool beat Girona to reach last 16

Liverpool are all but through to the Champions League last 16 after Mohamed Salah’s penalty clinched victory at Girona.

Arne Slot’s side were gifted a second-half spot-kick when former Manchester United and Everton midfielder Donny van de Beek caught Luis Diaz’s heel in the penalty area.

Salah dispatched his penalty with ease, sending Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga the wrong way to net his 46th Champions League goal.

Returning visiting goalkeeper Allison Becker made a handful of good saves as Liverpool continued their perfect start to this season’s Champions League, and the Reds will be assured of a top-eight finish – sending them straight into the last 16 – if they get a point from their final two fixtures in the league phase.

Liverpool – who lead the league-phase table – would be guaranteed a top-eight finish if other results this week go their way.

The Reds face Lille away and PSV Eindhoven at home in January.
