UEFA Champions League: Liverpool qualify for final after 4-2 thrashing of Villarreal (Highlights) 2021-2022

Liverpool survived a scare against Villarreal to qualify for the final of the UEFA Champions League. 

The Reds who recorded 2-0 win in the first leg of the semi final at Anfield stadium, were down to two goals in the first half against Unai Emery men in Spain. 

Boulaye Dia scored Villarreal's first after only three minutes, converting Etienne Capoue's pass, before ex-Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin headed in a second from another Capoue. 

Liverpool improve in the second half and Fabinho put them back in front on aggregate with a shot that went through the legs of Villarreal goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli in the 62nd minute.

Luis Diaz, whose introduction at half time changed the game after he replaced Diogo Jota, restored Liverpool's two-goal aggregate advantage with a header at the back post.

Sadio Mane scored the third goal after taking the ball around Rulli. Villarreal ended the game with 10 men with Capoue sent off late on for two bookable offences.
