Liverpool beat Porto 2-0.
Liverpool have one foot in the Champions League semi-finals after beating Porto 2-0 at Anfield.
First half goals from Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino gave the Reds a healthy lead and they were able to see out the clean sheet.
Liverpool won 5-0 away at Porto last season and the Dragao will hold no fear for the Reds in the second leg.
Despite the victory, pundit Danny Mills said he was not especially impressed.
He told BBC Sport: “Liverpool are getting away with it at the moment. Every game recently has been tight, though 2some will say that’s the sign of champions – to keep winning when not playing well.
“In the last 10 games or so I’ve not seen Liverpool comfortable in more than two matches. That can be a bit of a worry.
“But, at the moment, they keep winning, so they will hope they can stumble over the finishing line.”
Liverpool might not have been spectacular last night, but they don’t need to be.
It is also a bit unfair to compare this Liverpool side to last season’s, which scored more, and conceded more.
Liverpool’s game this season is more balanced, with greater focus on a tight defence. The positive results should speak for themselves.
