A number of fans have taken to Twitter to laud Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for his performance after coming on as Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Reds put one foot in the knockout stages of the competition after clinching an incredibly dramatic victory in the Spanish capital.

Liverpool had taken a 2-0 lead inside 13 minutes thanks to Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita.

However, Atleti responded superbly. Diego Simeone’s men equalised before the break.

Antoine Griezmann went from hero to zero following his brace. He was sent off for catching Roberto Firmino in the face with a high boot.

And Liverpool regained the lead with 13 minutes remaining as Salah converted a penalty after Diogo Jota was brought down inside the box.

Before the goal, it had appeared that it may prove to be a frustrating night for Jurgen Klopp’s men.

The Reds had not been at their best. And a number of players had seemingly struggled to kick on after a blistering start.

One player who did receive a lot of credit on the night was Chamberlain. The 28-year-old was introduced shortly after the hour-mark.

He brought some real intent to the side when he came on. Chamberlain made an important intervention at the back.
