Liverpool take a two goal advantage into the second leg
Liverpool scored the opening goal after four minutes as Keita hit a shot from the edge of the area which took a deflection on its way into the goal.
Keita, who opened his Liverpool account in the 3-1 win at Southampton on Friday, took a pass from Roberto Firmino who had latched on to a low cross from Sadio Mane.
Firmino made it 2-0 after 26 minutes when he rolled the ball in from a low cross by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Roberto Firmino was involved in Liverpool’s first and second goal
The Liverpool defender had got down the right and behind the Porto defence to reach a Jordan Henderson pass.
Alexander-Arnold squared the ball and Firmino had the simple job of rolling it over the line.
Liverpool survived a penalty appeal shortly after as Alisson Becker diverted the ball on to the arm of Alexander-Arnold.

Mohamed Salah was perhaps lucky to stay on the pitch with five minutes to go when it was judged his studs up challenge was not worthy of a red card.
