Champions League review

Liverpool endured more Champions League frustration in a 1-1 draw with Spartak Moscow on Tuesday night, but not so Spurs who thrashed APOEL Nicosia 3-0 thanks to Harry Kane's hat-trick.

Following a 2-2 draw with Sevilla in which defensive errors and missed opportunities meant for a disappointing night at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp named a strong Liverpool side to face Spartak in Russia.

The hosts went ahead on 23 minutes thanks to a free-kick from Fernando, which Loris Karius will surely feel he should have saved, but Philippe Coutinho made up for his foul which gave away that opportunity with a quality equaliser soon after.

Liverpool were odds-on to win at half-time but, despite dominating the second half, were unable to find a way through.

They came closest in the dying moments, Mo Salah heading straight at substitute goalkeeper Alexander Selikhov who nevertheless did superbly to keep it out.

The result leaves Liverpool two points adrift of Sevilla in Group E, the Spanish side having beaten Maribor 3-0.

In Cyprus, Kane fired Spurs to a convincing win with a 'perfect' hat-trick - one on his left foot, one on his right, before sealing a fine night for Spurs with a headed third on 67 minutes.

Manchester City were given a thorough examination by Shakhtar Donetsk which they came through with a 2-0 win thanks to a sublime curling strike from Kevin De Bruyne followed by a late second from Raheem Sterling, soon after Sergio Aguero had failed to convert a penalty.

Real Madrid beat Dortmund 3-1, Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice after a first-time volley from Gareth Bale put the visitors ahead, while Napoli were much too good for Feyenoord, also winning 3-1 after a late consolation for the Dutch outfit.

Monaco lost 3-0 to Porto, while Besiktas beat Red Bull Leipzig 2-0 in a match slightly held up by partial floodlight failure midway through the second half.

Champions League reaction

Harry Kane on scoring a ninth hat-trick for Spurs: "I didn't know it was nine but I try and score every game and obviously it's a bonus when I get three. It was (a tough game), we weren't really pleased with how we played in the first half to be honest. At half-time we said we wanted to step it up, (and there were) a couple of chances in that first half that could have gone the other way.

"Even in the second half we came out, maybe weren't as aggressive as we wanted to be but we were more clinical at vital moments in the game and that's what you want to do away from home, especially in the Champions League."

Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool being more clinical in front of goal: "Obviously we didn't score. We created, created, created - and could have created more - but the chances we had were big enough to score two, three or four times.

"We tried with all we had. We have to carry on. The effort was great. It was a very intense game for our side. We created the chances but we have to be more clinical, that is 100 per cent sure. The only way to change it is to do it again, do it again and do it again. We got in the right positions."

Klopp on the referee's decision to award the free-kick from which Fernando scored in the 23rd minute: "The situation around the free-kick is not a foul.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola on how the game was won: "The first half we had a few problems as we didn't make enough passes in a row. The second half was much, much better. A lot of credit to my players for today.

"Even in that situation, at 1-0, we were stable. When we missed the penalty and a lot of chances and we didn't score goals, we were still stable.

"Fabian Delph was man of the match. (The) guy is so kind and always tries to help. When he plays in the side we have more tempo and time and he did it really well."
