Liverpool paid a fitting tribute to Roger Hunt as Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino scored twice in a 5-1 demolition of Porto in the Champions League
on Tuesday.

Jurgen Klopp's side wore black armbands after former Liverpool striker Hunt died earlier in the day aged 83. Hunt was part of England's 1966 World Cup-winning side and is Liverpool's record league goal-scorer with 244 goals.

Salah maintained his blistering start to the season with the first half opener. Sadio Mane followed with his fourth goal this season and Salah netted again after the interval. Porto got one back through Mehdi Taremi. Firmino punished Costa's third howler to claim Liverpool's fourth and the Brazilian netted again.

"The most important thing is the result. It is a massive one away," Klopp said. "Porto started direct and we had struggles again, but we got it sorted on the pitch. We scored maybe not the most wonderful goals in the first half, but they were important ones. It was a good night."
