Liverpool surged into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with a classy 3-1 win over Bayern Munich on Wednesday at Allianz Arena.
Sadio Mane scored in each half, sandwiching a towering second-half header by Virgil van Dijk, to tip a last-16 tie that was in the balance following a goalless first-leg draw three weeks ago at Anfield firmly in the Reds’ favour.

Joel Matip’s own goal meant the sides went in at half-time level following Mane’s superb opener.
