In a tournament where away goals can be so very vital, Liverpool fans will be cursing the talents of Roman Weidenfeller.

The Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper was beaten by a deflected strike towards the end of the first half of their Europa League quarter-final first leg at home to the Reds. But after that, he shut up shop and decided he was sick of that conceding nonsense.
Weidenfeller put on a goalkeeping performance of a lifetime in the second half as he came up with a trio of saves in the second half. First, the German stopper got down preposterously well to a low, powerful drive from Philippe Coutinho. And after a sequence of Liverpool pressure, Weidenfeller first denied a long-range strike from Nathaniel Clyne that looked to be destined for the bottom corner but was pushed out of the six-yard box. The ball arrived to Coutinho once more but he could only fire it directly at Weidenfeller who stayed big and kept the game at 1-1. https://twitter.com/BVB/status/718170952287305729 https://twitter.com/KHeneage/status/718171172639215616 https://twitter.com/Bundesliga_EN/status/718171211528871937 https://twitter.com/sidlowe/status/718171593978036226 https://twitter.com/RichardBuxton_/status/718171701192888321 https://twitter.com/TVsCarlKinsella/status/718171166112903172
