Mohamed Salah hits a new milestone as Liverpool smashes their way into the Europa League quarters

After the epic 1-1 draw to Manchester City on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp’s team welcomed Sparta Prague for the 2nd League of the Europa League Round of 16. The Mysierside club already had the advantage.

By the 15th minute, Liverpool already won the tie with an eight-goal difference and extended their lead in the second half to seal a 6-1 victory (11-2 on aggregate) at Anfield.

19-year-old Bobby Clark scored Liverpool’s second of the night, marking his first goal for the club in just his fourth start for Liverpool, thanks to an assist from Mohammed Salah. Jurgen Klopp’s men went three goals up in the space of two minutes after the second.
