Advantage Liverpool heading into second leg at the Etihad

Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool they haven't won their Champions League quarter final yet.

A thrilling first-half display helped the Reds claim a 3-nil victory over Manchester City in the first leg at Anfield last night.

Mo Salah opened the scoring with his 39th goal of the season, but was forced off after the break with a suspected groin injury.

Pep Guardiola's side are facing an uphill battle in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, but City beat Liverpool 5-nil at the same venue in September.
