As expected, the team moved on quickly from the magnitude of the display and 1-1 draw against Real Madrid on Tuesday night and flew out of the traps, the foundations of this win laid in that dominant first 20 minutes.
Harry Kane opened the scoring on four minutes and then provided Heung-Min Son with the chance to fire home the second on 12 minutes, a classic counter-attack that started with Hugo Lloris' throw and finished with the ball in the net four touches later. The South Korean clattered the woodwork four minutes after that.
Liverpool, always a threat going forward, pulled a goal back on 23 minutes through Mohamed Salah but it was brief respite for the Reds in that first half as we came firing back, Son and Kane twice going close.
