90'+5'
RoundArrow

Full Time

All over at Anfield.
89'

GEORGINIO CURLS WIDE

Veltman sits Szoboszlai down before teeing up Georginio to shoot from the edge, and he curls it just wide of the top left corner!
87'

MITOMA'S VOLLEY STRAIGHT AT ALISSON

Mitoma catches the ball sweetly on the volley, but Alisson is right behind it and palms it away.
81'
RoundArrow

Substitution

Mats Wieffer replaces Jack Hinshelwood.
81'
RoundArrow

Offside

Substitute Rio Ngumoha curls in what looks like Liverpool's fourth of the evening, but the flag goes up for offside against the teenager. He doesn't look offside on the replay.
75'

KADIOGLU STRIKE DEFLECTED OVER

Mitoma passes it to Kadioglu on the edge and the Turkey international's effort deflects over the Liverpool goal for a corner.
72'
RoundArrow

Substitution

Olivier Boscagli replaces Jan Paul van Hecke.
67'
RoundArrow

Goal

Salah fires the ball into the top right corner from 12 yards.
67'

Penalty

Mo Salah takes a tumble under pressure from Pascal Gross and the referee gives a penalty.
62'
RoundArrow

Substitution

Fabian Hurzeler makes a triple change as Mitoma, Minteh and Georginio replace Baleba, Gomez and Howell.
61'

DUNK DENIES SALAH

The ball falls for Salah in the Albion box and he tries to beat Steele with a first time strike, but Dunk throws himself in the way of the effort before Salah slices the follow up wide.
56'
RoundArrow

Goal

Szoboszlai rifles in from Salah's pass.
54'

ALISSON KEEPS OUT DUNK'S HEADER

Howell wins a free-kick on the right flank. Gross curls it in, Dunk heads it back across goal and Alisson dives to get a touch to stop van Hecke nodding in! Veltman then smashes it over from 20 yards.
48'

GOMEZ NEARLY STEALS A GOAL

Diego Gomez's excellent hard work nearly pays off as he intercepts Alisson's pass, but it flies wide of goal.
46'
RoundArrow

Second Half begins

Back underway at Anfield. Come on Albion.
45'+2'
RoundArrow

We're 1-0 down at the break

We're 1-0 down at the break, but still all to play for.
45'+1'

GOMEZ WITH A GREAT CHANCE!

Dunk's pass catches out Jones out who ends up on his backside and Gomez is in. He is closed down quickly by Alisson, who gets a foot to the Paraguayan's shot! Another great chance just before the half time whistle.
45'

HINSHELWOOD HEADS OVER

Harry Howell finds his cousin Jack Hinshelwood in the box, but the latter heads over from seven yards! It's a really good chance.
41'
RoundArrow

Goal

Curtis Jones puts Liverpool in front with a first-time finish from close range.
39'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Carlos Baleba is now booked for a foul on Alexis Mac Allister in midfield.
38'

STEELE TIPS OVER KERKEZ'S STRIKE

Kerkez is free down the left, bursts into the box and leathers it at goal from just inside the box, which Steele tips over well. The keeper had just made a far simpler save from Mo Salah's near post poke, which rolled into his arms.
35'
RoundArrow

Offside

Cody Gakpo heads in from Dominik Szobaszlai's free-kick, but the Dutchman is well offside.
33'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Diego Gomez is booked for a foul on Mo Salah. Again, feels a bit harsh.
31'

DUNK FIRES WELL WIDE

The skipper has space 30 yards from the Liverpool goal and has a pop. It's moving all over the place, but it's about three yards wide of the top left corner.
27'

STOPPAGE IN PLAY

Chiesa goes to ground after getting caught by van Hecke. There's nothing in it to be honest, but the referee brings a stop to play. The two teams are now cancelling each other out a little. Just as that's being typed out, Curtis Jones curls one just wide of the top corner. It quite clearly comes off Jack Hinshelwood's knee, but a goal-kick is given.

Harry Howell takes on Milos Kerkez.
15'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Lewis Dunk goes into the book after catching the toe of Florian Wirtz. Seems a little harsh.
13'
RoundArrow

Offside

Kerkez looks for a moment as if he's beaten the offside trap, he chops the ball to sit down two Albion defenders before his shot hits Salah. The flag goes up against the Hungarian for being offside in the build up.
10'

KADIOGLU'S CURLER EASY FOR ALISSON

Pascal Gross's free-kick finds Diego Gomez. He tees up Ferdi Kadioglu on the edge of the box who opts for precision over power, but curls it comfortably into Alisson's arms. Good chance. Good start.
5'

REALLY STRONG START

Albion have started on the front foot. Kadioglu has looked a threat on the left, Baleba looking good in midfield.

Kick-off

Pascal Gross gets the first half underway.
