Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in Champions League

Antoine Griezmann scored twice but was sent off for Atletico Madrid as they fell to a 3-2 Champions League Group B defeat to Liverpool.

Liverpool’s in-form attacker Mohamed Salah netted a double, including the winner from the penalty spot.

Salah opened the scoring with a deflected effort in the eighth minute and Naby Keita added a second with a thunderous volley five minutes later, but Liverpool’s defense imploded and Atletico came roaring back.

Griezmann steered home a Koke shot in the 20th minute to reduce the deficit and 14 minutes later he put his side level.

But he was sent off seven minutes into the second half for a careless and dangerous high boot that caught Roberto Firmino in the head.
