Sanusi netted the only goal in stoppage time to practically seal a 30th Portuguese Primera Liga title for the Blues.

After a goalless first 45 minutes, it was Benfica who drew the first blood when Darwin Nunez put them ahead.

However, the goal was ruled out by the VAR as both teams continued to push for the elusive goal.

Following a devastating counter attack led by Pepe, the 24-year-old produced an excellent first-time finish into the top corner to send the Porto bench and fans into a frenzy.
