| Roberto Firmino scores for Liverpool last night |
Roberto Firmino came to the rescue as Paris Saint-Germain bow to Liverpool with a 3-2 defeat at Anfield.
Liverpool got the early 2-0 lead with goals from Daniel Sturridge and James Milner in the first half but Thomas Meunier reduced the deficit to 2-1 before half-time. In the second half, goals didn't come until the 83rd minute when Kylian Mbappe equalized to make it 2-2, only for Roberto Firmino to come on as a substitute to secure the late winner for Jurgen Klopp's side.
This is the first time since 1961/62 season that Liverpool would win their first six matches of the season.
PSG have not won any of their last five Champions League games against Premier League sides and the last time they kept a clean sheet in the last 13 games against an English side was against Chelsea in 2004/05 season.
James Milner has scored 13 penalties in all competitions for Liverpool since he joined them in 2015, only Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane are Premier League players to have scored more with 17 and 15 respectively.
Daniel Sturridge has scored twice and assisted two others in his last four appearances for Liverpool in the Champions League.
Tottenham surrendered a 1-0 lead at the San Siro as Inter Milan left it late to defeat Mauricio Pochettino's side by 2-1. Christian Eriksen got the goal for the Spurs but Mauro Icardi and Matias Vecino both had a different idea as Tottenham lost three matches in a row with all ending in 2-1 defeats.
In their last 10 European away matches against Italian clubs Tottenham have drawn 4 and lost 5.
