"Champions League" Liverpool 2-0 Atletico, take a look at the Reds' top 5 highlights

Mane celebrated after scoring

Liverpool beat Atletico 2-0 at Anfield, ensuring a safe passage into the Champions League knockout stages.

Goals from Jota and Mane helped Klopp's side to victory, which will secure their top spot in Group B with two games left.

In the opening few meetings, Atletti had a lot of goals, but the hosts opened the record in just 13 minutes.

Jota was the one to put his name on the scoring list, but it was all because of Trent Alexander-Arnold's bad ball. The England international completed a cross inside the penalty area, leaving Jota with a simple task of nodding to his side in front.

Less than ten minutes later, Liverpool extended their lead when Alexander Arnold's ball was scored by Sadio Mane and the crowd was ecstatic.

The situation for the Spanish champions was getting worse and worse, and shortly before half-time, referee Marklay made a strange decision to send the violent Felipe off.

Felipe tripped Mane, but after ignoring Marklay's call, the Dutch decided to give the defender a red card.

Both Jota and Suarez were invalidated after half-time, but in fact the game was over when Atletico had just 10 men left.

Liverpool missed out on a lot of chances in the second half, but the game was pointless as the Reds took all three points to ensure they would be the first in the group.

Liverpool captain Henderson said his former team-mate Suarez deserved a warm ovation from Anfield fans.

However, it was clear from the start that the Uruguayan's request was ignored and he was booed as he stood in the kick-off zone.

It was his antics with Barca in 2019 that turned the fans who once idolized him into those who now apparently no longer worship him.

In that match two years ago, Suarez was accused of trying to get the player sent off, and just a few minutes into the game, the Reds thought the striker could easily fall while chasing a straight pass.

He was yellow carded for dissent in the final moments of the first half, followed by a goal that was invalidated and replaced by more ridicule.

After the last comeback 0-4 loss to Barca, this one was not much better.
