Twitter reacts as Liverpool leave Dortmund with the upper hand

Liverpool have earned an impressive 1-1 draw away at Borussia Dortmund thanks to Divock Origi's potentially-crucial away goal.

The Belgian struck late in the first half, and while Mats Hummels equalised shortly after the break a solid defensive effort was enough for Jurgen Klopp's side to hold off the usually free-scoring Germans. Before the game, few were giving Liverpool much of a chance. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_co_uk/status/718149955018469377

Part of that was down to the impressive recent form of Klopp's former employers, with the Bundesliga's second-placed team yet to taste defeat in 2016.

But another factor was Liverpool's surprise decision to give Origi a place in the starting line-up, with Daniel Sturridge watching on from the bench.

Dortmund could very easily have taken the lead before Origi struck, only for Mamadou Sakho to make a crucial first-half block.

And the Frenchman continued his impressive performance throughout, earning plenty of plaudits.

But plenty still expected Dortmund to eventually take control. So much so that when Origi scored...

That gave Liverpool a half-time lead, but they crucially lost Jordan Henderson to injury.

And within three minutes of the captain being withdrawn, the hosts hit back.

It got us asking the big questions.

Liverpool had chances to retake the lead, but Roman Weidenfeller, 35 years young, was enjoying one of the performances of his career.

It ended 1-1, a result with which Liverpool can certainly be very happy.

Now, can they complete the job at Anfield?
