Goal glut as Liverpool and PSG post fighting wins

Ajax overwhelms Borussia Dortmund; Inter Milan hammers Sheriff

There was a goal rush in the Champions League on Tuesday and it was hardly a surprise to see Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah among the scorers. By converting coolly taken penalties late in their games, Messi and Salah sealed 3-2 wins for Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool, respectively, on a chaotic night when 35 goals were scored across eight group matches — at an average of nearly 4.4 goals.

Ajax produced perhaps the best performance of the lot in overwhelming Borussia Dortmund 4-0, with Sebastien Haller netting his sixth goal of the group stage in just three rounds of games.

Messi rescued the French club in its 3-2 win over Leipzig, equalising in the 67th and then producing a cheeky “Panenka” penalty down the middle to complete PSG’s comeback.
