Liverpool turn on the style to dismantle Galatasaray in Champions League

LIVERPOOL, England, March 18 : Liverpool put their indifferent form behind them and marched into the Champions League quarter-finals as they dismantled Galatasaray 4-0 at Anfield on Wednesday, for a 4-1 aggregate win.

Galatasaray had beaten the Premier League champions twice at home this season, including last week's 1-0 first-leg win, but were no match for a Liverpool side which played with a determination and energy rarely seen this season.

"I think we did a great job tonight. We could win 10-0, we missed a few chances, but we did still a good job," Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike told TNT Sports.

"We can be proud of ourselves tonight and we can look forward to the quarter-final."

Dominik Szoboszlai put Liverpool in front in the 25th minute and they could have been ahead on aggregate before the break but Mohamed Salah had a penalty saved. The hosts ran riot after the break, with goals from Ekitike, Ryan Gravenberch and Salah.

Liverpool will play holders Paris St Germain, who easily saw off Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate, in the quarter-finals.

Liverpool looked comfortable from the off and went in front from a well-worked set-piece.

Szoboszlai raced into the area unmarked to guide home a side-footed shot from Alexis Mac Allister's corner and Liverpool's energy levels rose even further after the goal.

Salah should probably have doubled the lead minutes later when through one-on-one with the keeper, but his attempted lob was saved by Ugurcan Cakir.

Florian Wirtz had a shot deflected over as Liverpool continued to pile forward and Cakir parried away a powerful Szoboszlai effort.

The visitors were hanging on under extreme pressure to keep the tie level on aggregate going into the break when Ismail Jakobs fouled Szoboszlai in the area.
