Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool LIVE: Champions League result, final score and reaction from fixture tonight

Antoine Griezmann scored twice but was sent off for Atletico Madrid as they fell to a 3-2 Champions League Group B defeat to Liverpool whose in-form attacker Mohamed Salah netted a double, including the winner from the penalty spot.

Salah opened the scoring with a deflected effort in the eighth minute and Naby Keita added a second with a thunderous volley five minutes later, but Liverpool’s defence imploded and Atletico came roaring back.

Griezmann steered home a Koke shot in the 20th minute to reduce the deficit and 14 minutes later he put his side level, but he was sent off seven minutes into the second half for a careless and dangerous high boot that caught Roberto Firmino in the head.

Salah put Liverpool back in front with a 78th-minute penalty and Atletico had a similar award overturned after a VAR review, leaving the Reds to see out the game and stay top in Group B on nine points, five ahead of second-placed Atletico.

Atletico 1 - 2 Liverpool

20:34 , Michael Jones

Atletico 1 - 2 Liverpool

20:26 , Michael Jones

23 mins: There was a long delay as VAR checked the goal for a potential offside, most likely against Lemar. It took a while so must have been close but the goal stands!

20:16 , Michael Jones

30 mins: City finally score! It’s a simple move in the end. Phil Foden flicks the ball over the top of the Brugge defence as Joao Cancelo makes a run inside. He brings the ball down onto his chest, shakes off a shouder barge from Kamal Sowah and pokes the ball underneath Mignolet to find the back of the net! Lovely move from Manchester City.

25 mins: Clinton Mata gets the first yellow card of the game for a late challenge on Bernardo Silva that hits the Portuguese in the face. It’s a heavy hit but Bernardo takes and is fine to play on.

20 mins: Man City are properly schooling Club Brugge at the minute. They’re making it almost impossible for the home side to get out of their own half before they win back the ball and attack again. Foden shimmies away from a tackle and slots a lovely pass into the left side of the box for the overlapping Joao Cancelo. He collects the ball and sends it into the six-yard box but neither Grealish nor De Bruyne can get to the pass and the attack dies down.

17 mins: Here’s a glimpse of Club Brugge’s gameplan as they hit City on the counter-attack. A clearance it sent up to Charles De Ketelaere who fires a diagonal pass across to Noa Lang but Kyle Walker’s pace is enough for him to nip in front of the forward and win back the ball for City.

14 mins: Jack Hendry fouls Foden and gives Man City a free kick over on the inside right. De Bruyne floats the set piece into the far side of the box where Aymeric Laporte has made a run past the defenders.

11 mins: Dias fires a long ball up the pitch and sends Grealish chasing after the ball. It bounces high as Grealish and Mata both attempt to win it. There’s a push into Mata’s back fro Grealish allowing the ball to drop into the box where the forward chips it over Simon Mignolet and scores!

The offside flag goes up, the whistle is blown and the referee awards Brugge a free kick for Grealish’s push on Mata. Not much going for that one.

8 mins: Close! Bernardo Silva sends the ball up to De Bruyne on the edge of the box but he’s tackled and City get lucky as the ball flies out to Phil Foden. He plays a teasing ball into the six-yard box but the pass just evades a stretching De Bruyne and rolls wide of the back post.
