Jurgen Klopp's side were ruthless in their match against Sparta Prague. Despite being ahead 5-1 after the first leg of the last-16 tie, Liverpool scored four goals in seven minutes during the first half to seal the victory. Sparta Prague did manage to score one goal through Velko Birmancevic, but it was too little, too late.

Bobby Clark, 19, scored his debut goal for Liverpool immediately after Darwin Nunez opened the scoring in the seventh minute. Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo then scored two more goals in quick succession, making it 4-0 within 15 minutes.

Dominik Szoboszlai's shot was deflected into the net three minutes into the second half. Gakpo scored his second goal moments later as Liverpool easily defeated a poor Sparta Prague team, resulting in their largest-ever aggregate victory in European competition.

Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp Post-Match Conference

Jurgen Klopp believes Mohamed Salah's hunger for scoring goals will never stop. 

"In seven years together with him, the one problem we never had was consistency. Mo is just delivering and delivering and delivering, his desire doesn't stop, his quality is there, and his desire to score doesn't stop. "He has improved in so many aspects since he started here. That's how it is, he will not stop. "I'm less surprised than maybe some others, I thought it had already happened, to be honest, but he was injured for a while, otherwise, he would have done it in January or February. "But great, very good, and great to have him back. "It was not the plan he plays 90 minutes, the plan was to take him off when we brought on Mateusz (Musialowski), but Bobby Clark said (he felt something), and Mo is experienced enough that he recovers during the game. "I told him not to defend anymore - I never told a player that before."
"The boys started the game incredibly well, and 4-0 up in 14 minutes is really strange. "From then on, it became a strange game because how can you now stay greedy?"

Sparta Prague Manager Brian Priske Post-Match Conference

Brian Priske, the manager of Sparta, said that Liverpool should be playing in the Champions League.

“All the criticism and all the haters that there may be back in the Czech Republic, but that’s how it is. It’s a completely different level we played against. We’ve never faced something like this, and maybe there will be some time before we do again. “Liverpool is a Champions League team, and they should be playing in the Champions League. They will maybe be Premier League winners in two months. I’m proud. We competed in some aspects in the first game in Prague, but we saw the individual quality [tonight]. It’s different level. Big, big respect to the players of Liverpool.”
