Liverpool v Lille LIVE: Result and final score as Harvey Elliott strikes lucky in Champions League
Arne Slot’s Liverpool side remain top of the new-look Champions League
Liverpool have won 2-1 against Lille in their Champions League match at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah scored on the counter-attack in the first half and the hosts were cruising when Lille’s Aissa Mandi was sent off for a second bookable offence.
But Jonathan David’s equaliser stunned the home side, who then enjoyed a slice of luck as Harvey Elliott’s speculative strike took a deflection on its way in.
The result meant Liverpool have won seven out of seven games in the new league phase and have qualified for the last-16.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Lille (Elliott, 68 min)
Liverpool go on the attack and they are quickly back in front! Tsimikas’s corner is headed out and Harvey Elliott is lurking outside the box. He tries a first-time shot, which gets a huge deflection on its way past Chevalier in the Lille goal. A big slice of fortune there, but Liverpool will take it.

Now then. It was as if Liverpool switched off after the red card, letting Lille have the ball, and they’ve paid the price. Gundmundsson battles down the left and crosses for Haraldsson, and when his shot is blocked, Jonathan David pounces from close range. Wow.
