Liverpool Downs PSG In UEFA Champions League Thriller
Liverpool substitute Harvey Elliott scored a last-gasp winner 47 seconds after coming on to earn a 1-0 win against Paris St Germain, who outplayed their visitors during Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League last-16 first leg match.
Elliott slotted home in the 87th minute against the run of play, after a layoff from fellow substitute Darwin Nunez for the victory in Paris.
Liverpool’s goal was their first shot on target and second attempt compared to PSG’s 28.
Goalkeeper Alisson had kept Liverpool in the game with a string of magnificent saves to ensure his side claimed a valuable win.

“To go away with a win from here was probably a bit more than we deserved,” Liverpool manager Arne Slot said.
Luis Enrique’s PSG, who had won 18 and drawn two of their last 20 games, were left to rue missed chances as they contemplate a tough return leg at Anfield next Tuesday.
“We’re going to show the team we are, we’re going to show our character. We’re going to win there,” PSG midfielder Vitinha said.
“With the game we played, the win was more than deserved. We had plenty of chances, we just couldn’t score.”
