Liverpool fans can breath a sigh of relief after Fabinho and Luis Diaz put the English club back in front against Villarreal in Tuesday’s Champions League semifinal.
After Villarreal erased Liverpool’s first-leg lead with two first-half goals, Fabinho made it 3-2 on aggregate after his shot inside the box somehow sneaked through Villarreal ‘keeper Geronimo Rulli’s legs.
