Salah raced through in the 34th minute to sweep Liverpool ahead with his 22nd goal in all competitions this season. And when Lille’s Aissa Mandi was sent off just before the hour mark, Liverpool looked certain to extend its 100-per-cent record in the league phase. Raphinha scored in stoppage time to complete a rousing comeback as Barcelona won in Lisbon despite having been 4-2 down with less than a quarter of an hour left.
Robert Lewandowski scored two penalties for Barcelona to stay the Champions League’s top scorer on nine goals, one ahead of Raphinha, who also scored twice.

Wilfried Singo’s goal at a corner in the eighth minute was enough to secure the win for ninth-place Monaco.Borussia Dortmund’s 2-1 loss at Bologna increased the pressure on coach Nuri Sahin in Dortmund’s fourth consecutive loss at the start of the new year in all competitions.
