Liverpool staged one of the most dramatic comebacks Anfield saw as Dejan Lovren scored a heart-stopping header in the dying moments of the game to seal a 4-3 victory against Borussia Dortmund in a pulsating Europa League quarterfinals clash.

After clinching one of the most astonishing wins, Liverpool have reached the semi-finals of the league.

Held 1-1 in last week's first leg at the Westfalenstadion, Jurgen Klopp's side looked down and out after just eight minutes after two quick goals gave the visitors a three goal advantage, the Mirror reports.

After Divock Origi had given Reds a foothold in the 48th minute of the match, Marco Reus struck again for the visitors, but goals from Philippe Coutinho (66th minute) and Mamadou Sakho (77th minute) levelled the tie before Lovren scored a brilliant goal in the 91st minute to give Klopp the biggest win of his Anfield tenure.
