Salah hails Liverpool for famous City triumph

The Reds overcame Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday, advancing to the semi-final round.

Mohamed Salah praised his Liverpool team-mates for the way they fought from a goal down against Manchester City to seal passage to the Champions League semi-finals.

Jurgen Klopp's side claimed a 2-1 win over the Premier League leaders at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday and a 5-1 aggregate triumph in their quarter-final tie.

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, City threatened a famous comeback when Gabriel Jesus scored after just two minutes, and Liverpool survived sustained pressure and a contentious offside call against Leroy Sane to ensure they were only a goal down at half-time.
