Jurgen Klopp hailed Mohamed Salah's "sensational" goal which sealed a 2-0 victory over Red Bull Salzburg and ensured the holders march into the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Egypt international had missed a hat-trick of relatively simple, by his standards at least, chances but slid home a curling shot from the narrowest of angles which virtually brushed the near post before creeping inside the far upright.
That came around a minute after Naby Keita headed home Sadio Mane's cross, the two former Salzburg players combining to ease the nerves after Klopp's side endured a challenging first half.
But the moment Salah's goal went in it was plain sailing for the defending champions and the forward could still have had a couple more before the end.
Asked to explain the goal, Klopp said: "Thank God I don't have to. It was for sure the most difficult situation he had tonight.
"He played really well but didn't score in the situations we expect him to score, staying on track and making such a decisive but a difficult finish says probably much more about him than all the other goals he scored.
"He stayed concentrated, believed in the next moment and it was a very good goal. A sensational finish."
