Liverpool progressed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with the minimum of fuss after a goalless second-leg draw with Porto secured a 5-0 aggregate win.

With the damage done in the first leg, Sadio Mane hit the post for Liverpool in a forgettable first half that was devoid of goalmouth action.

Substitute Danny Ings went closest to scoring a winner when he saw a late header tipped over the bar by Iker Casillas.

While the 90 minutes will not live long in the memory, Liverpool had license to take their foot off the pedal slightly after their scintillating first-leg display and they are into the quarter-finals for the first time since 2008/09.
