Liverpool's Champions League hopes hang in the balance after a last-minute goal denied them a crucial win, their match in Lyon ending 1-1. More
90+3 That's the whistle! A draw for Liverpool, but it should have been a win! They MUST win their last two matches now, and hope other results go their way. Fiorentina need to lose BOTH their final games now, against Lyon and Liverpool. Phew.
90' Mix-up in the Liverpool defence as Babel misses a header, nodded over Agger and it rebounds off Kyrgiakos and and Lisandro is in, he can break Liverpool's hearts here and he clips it over Reina for 1-1! Oh no! A comedy goal, with errors and lucky rebounds and Lyon are level!
89' Babel is played in on the left but he drills the low shot wide of the near post!
87' LIVERPOOL SUB: N'Gog on for Torres, with Rafael Benitez trusting his team to hold on to this lead.
83' Liverpool counter, Babel has it on the inside left, he cuts on to his right AND WHAT A GOAL!! HE HAMMERS IT INTO THE TOP LEFT LEAVING LLORIS NO CHANCE! LIVERPOOL LEAD AND WHAT A STRIKE FROM RYAN BABEL!
79' Torres knocks it past Toulalan and is in but Cissokho is super-quick and gets ahead of him to clear. Now Lyon break and Ederson totally does Agger on the edge of the box and he rugby tackles him to the ground! Agger is in trouble, he's already been booked but no card! Very lucky boy.
78' That spell of Liverpool pressure breaks down as Kuyt loses the ball, long for Lisandro who has two defenders with him but cuts inside and plays a curling shot wide of the far post!
74' SUICIDAL BACK HEADER FROM KYRGIAKOS TO PLAY LISANDRO IN BUT A GREAT SAVE FROM REINA! He was alert to the danger and saved the Greek, who is almost comically out of his depth at this level.
73' LYON SUB: Disgraced skipper and occasional booze-hound Govou is on for Gomis.
69' Agger intercepts and he surges forward, one-two with Kuyt and Torres is free wide right, he can cross for Agger but over-hits it but in flies Lucas WHO CAN FINISH BUT WHAT A SAVE FROM LLORIS and it flicks up for KUYT WITH THE BICYCLE KICK but weak and easily off the line by Cissokho! Babel picks it up and it's back in the mixer, Liverpool win a corner on the left.
68' LIVERPOOL SUB: Babel on for the poor Voronin.
46' Second half underway!!
- Liverpool have committed almost twice as many fouls, 13 to Lyon's seven, but both sides have one yellow card each.
45+3 Half time, goalless in Lyon but Liverpool the better side!
40' LYON SUB: Pjanic was not able to shake that knock off and Ederson comes on in his place.
34' Toulalan gives the ball away and Lisandro is forced to pull back Kuyt and get a yellow card. He must be wishing he could transfer that to Toulalan as it was entirely his fault.
33' Liverpool with some good possession but Lyon clear, Agger brings down Gomis and earns himself a booking. Really cynical as Gomis was away down the right.
28' A long ball catches the Lyon defence flat-footed and Voronin is in, he's clean through and Lloris rushes out to block the finish! Poor, poor finish from the Ukrainian.
19' There's a Lyon player down injured as Liverpool come forward. Looks like Reveillere is coming off for Gassama.
18' Voronin takes the corner which comes off the head of Benayoun at the near post and just beyond the far post! Why didn't Torres attack the far post? He was just stood there at the far end of the six-yard box!
17' Insua on the ball to get on to Kuyt's ball wide, he plays it low back in and it skips up off Benayoun for KUYT WITH THE FINISH but tipped over acrobatically by Lloris!
12' Liverpool break, Benayoun wide to Insua, he puts in a low cross and it deflects into the path OF TORRES WHO MUST SCORE BUT SAVED BY THE LEGS OF LLORIS!

tough luck pal, youll soon be out of europe and nowhere in the mickey-mouse e.p.l. either.

oh what a fabulous display from a "brilliant" e.p.l. team! the best league in the world? lol! even with all the millions of NON-ENGLISH money, droves of NON-ENGLISH players, and collections of NON -ENGLISH owners,to shore up the pathetic e.p.l., they are pathetic even against the relatively weak french league.

name one good thing to come from manchester apart from footballers and a football team

why don't u man united fans watch your own games u retards

the thing with liverpool is they need torres, without him, they need luck :)

Pistol Pete # 608 - " All these things would be better than sitting at home typing vicious comments on football sites with their left hand whilst potentially making themselves go blind by doing unsavoury things with their right hands. "
Only when watching United.

Even Ron Atkinson would have probably started Babel instead of Voronin hes lyk a bad Zenden who tries to play upfront

I have been having a read through the comments on this site --- some very funny --- a lot of them very rude, to the point that I now think there are many morons doing nothing but making vicious comments on the site. Another thing I have noticed is that, considering this is a site giving a commentary about a Liverpool game....most of the comments are coming from people who believe they support Man Utd. I find this very strange; I know that most Man Utd 'supporters' don't even know where Manchester is let alone attending their games and, as such are insignificant, petty little people who's opinions don't matter to anyone. I think their time would be better spent doing something useful --- like learning how to spell --- like trying to trace who their fathers were --- like trying to discover how much money their mothers paid their estranged fathers etc etc. All these things would be better than sitting at home typing vicious comments on football sites with their left hand whilst potentially making themselves go blind by doing unsavoury things with their right hands.
