Liverpool came through a major scare at Anfield to beat RB Salzburg and record their first points of the 2019-20 Champions League campaign.

The reigning champions rushed into the lead with Sadio Mane, Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah all getting on the scoresheet in the first half.

But Hwang Hee-Chan gave Salzburg a lifeline just before the break, before second-half goals by Takumi Minamino and Erling Haaland pulled a thrilling game level at 3-3.

But it was Liverpool who had the final word, when Salah pounced on Firmino's header in the box to smash home a winner.

The result means Liverpool climb to second in Group E, behind leaders Napoli, who drew with Genk in Belgium.
