Liverpool Beat Girona to Book their Place in the Knock out Stage
Spanish La Liga side Girona did well to hold Liverpool down but could not contain the pressure in the second half. They gifted Liverpool a penalty after Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek caught Luis Diaz’s heel in the penalty area.
Mohamed Salah step up and dispatched the penalty with ease, sending Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga the wrong way. The goal was the Egyptian’s 46th Champions League goal.
The English Premier League side who lead the league-phase table would also be guaranteed a top-eight finish if other results go their way this week. They will play Lille away and Dutch side PSV Eindhoven at home in January.
They have won six out of six Champions League games this season and have already secured a place in the knockout-phase play-offs – the round before the last 16.
