Liverpool's got off to a nightmare start as Borussia Dortmund ran out to a two-goal lead in the opening ten minutes on Thursday night.

Goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (who else?) meant the slender away goals advantage held by the Reds was gone almost immediately. As Liverpool chased the game down 3-1 on aggregate, Roberto Firmino found his team-mate Adam Lallana in a dangerous position in the box. The Englishman turned to give himself a better position to strike at goal, but apparently all that spinning just made him dizzy as he missed the ball entirely with an phantom effort.
