Sevilla hero Wissam Ben Yedder trolls Liverpool with cheeky AC Milan reference after Spaniards fight back to draw 3-3 after trailing Reds 3-0

WISSAM BEN YEDDER put the boot into Liverpool on and off the pitch - leading Sevilla's astonishing comeback draw then trolling the Reds with a cheeky tweet about their famous win over AC Milan.

French striker Yedder struck twice before Guido Pizarro prodded the Spaniards' stoppage-time equaliser after group leaders Liverpool led the Champions League clash 3-0.

And Yedder made the Reds wince again when he compared Sevilla's revival to Liverpool's similar transformation in winning the 2005 Champions League final.

He tweeted: "Hope @acmilan watched it.."

Liverpool pulled off one the most famous turnarounds in Champions League history when Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer and Xabi Alonso netted in six minutes early in the second half to wipe out Milan's lead.

The Reds then won the penalty shootout 3-2.

The defeat has long haunted Milan, who at that time were commonly rated the best team in Europe.

But, now that it has happened to Liverpool, Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp was quick to insist the Reds' collapse was not down to mental weakness.

"Yes, it was not perfect, that's true, but it's not a general problem.

"Do I think it's a mentality problem? 100% not. It's a misjudgement."

Roberto Firmino had slotted home on two minutes before Sadio Mane arrived in carbon-copy style to double the Reds' lead.

And on 30 minutes Firmino's rebound finish seemed to kill off Sevilla as the hosts struggled to cope with Liverpool's counter-attacking.

Instead, though, Yedder's quick double soon after the break set up the Spaniards' second-half domination.

Liverpool still seem certain to go through and a point at home to Spartak Moscow in the group finale on December 6 would confirm it
