Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min scoring their 1st goal during the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg match against Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday — Internet LIVERPOOL, April 10 (Agencies): Liverpool closed in on a Champions League semi-final meeting with Barcelona or Manchester United after sweeping aside Porto 2-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at Anfield.
Far from the late drama that has accompanied the Red's Premier League title bid of late, Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino struck inside the first 26 minutes to put the hosts in command.
Liverpool's only regret may be not building a more emphatic lead to take to Portugal for next week's second leg.
However, a fourth clean sheet in five home Champions League games this season means an away goal at the Estadio do Dragao on April 17th will leave Porto needing four to progress.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min once again proved there is more to Tottenham Hotspur than Harry Kane as the South Korean's late goal secured a 1-0 home win over Manchester City in an absorbing Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday.
