85 min: Sturridge with a speculative volley from range - amazing if it came off but that was never likely. Benteke also on the pitch now.

87 min: Liverpool try to break but when they lose the ball Sevilla break back and they nearly muster a clear chance to put this game to bed. They end up with just a corner which allows them to eat up some time.
