Firmino strike sees Liverpool win five-goal thriller with PSG
Substitute Roberto Firmino scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Liverpool beat Paris St-Germain in a five-goal Champions League thriller at Anfield.
Daniel Sturridge's header and James Milner's penalty had given Jurgen Klopp's side a commanding 2-0 lead over the French champions in Group C.
PSG pulled a goal back before half-time through Thomas Meunier's volley before Mohamed Salah thought he had made it 3-1 from close range but, after a delay, his goal was ruled out for Sturridge's foul on keeper Alphonse Areola.
World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe drew the visitors level with a composed finish late on but Firmino, who suffered an eye injury against Tottenham on Saturday, drilled in a 91st-minute winner.
