Strikes from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi made Liverpool win
a sixth European Cup as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in Madrid.
This is the second all-English final in the competition's
history, Salah gave Liverpool the advantage by scoring a penalty inside two
minutes after Sissoko handled the ball with his arm.
Spurs came back like they did throughout the season in the
UEFA Champions League, but struggled to create a clear-cut chance for the
fit-again Harry Kane to match their dominance.
Spurs did not seriously test Alisson until the 80th minute
but the Liverpool goalkeeper stood up to the late pressure with a number of
impressive saves.
After scoring the goal that got Liverpool to the final,
Origi came on to seal the victory with three minutes of normal time remaining.
The Belgian drilled the ball home after a corner had not
been cleared.
