Liverpool have defied the odds to secure qualification into the Europa League semi-finals by beating Borussia Dortmund 4-3 tonight.

The Reds, who were coming into tonight's match at Anfield on the back of a 1-1 away draw, found themselves trailing the German side 2-0 early on.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pounced with two goals in five minutes before the game was even 10 minutes old to leave Liverpool in a perilous position.

But Jurgen Klopp's side managed to come back from the dead to win the tie in the second half.

Divock Origi slotted in a crucial finish just after half-time to pull it back to 2-1.

But Marco Reus restored Dortmund's two goal advantage after Mats Hummels played him behind the Reds defence.

But a Philippe Coutinho strike from outside the box, set up Mamadou Sakho and Dejan Lovren to head in two set pieces to dump Klopp's former side out of the competition by a 5-4 aggregate score.
