Twitter explodes as Liverpool thrash Roma 5-2 in the semi-finals of UEFA Champions League

The much-awaited semi-final of this year's UEFA Champions League was a one-sided affair as Liverpool thrashed Roma 5-2 at Anfield. Roma started out on a bright note and dominated the first 20 minutes of the high octane clash. Liverpool patiently waited for their chances and missed two great chances before a wave of attacks was unfurled on a hapless Roma.

After opening the goal scoring for Liverpool in the first half, he added another just before half-time. During the second half, the Egyptian footballer continued from where he left off and provided two assists. It was a great performance by Mohamed Salah and it has almost sealed a berth to the finals of the Champions League.

Here are some of the Twitter reactions to Liverpool's win:
