Liverpool takes control of Champions League semifinal after dominant victory against Villarreal
CNN
Liverpool produced an impressive performance to beat Villarreal 2-0 in its Champions League semifinal first-leg on Wednesday.
Jurgen Klopp's side was at its devastating best to take full control of the tie, striking twice in the second half to take a healthy advantage into the second leg in Spain next week.
Despite all its possession and chances, Liverpool needed a fortuitous goal to break the deadlock -- Jordan Henderson's cross was deflected over goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli in the 53rd minute.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
