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.
Re-live all the action from Anfield below:
Liverpool 1-0 Lille
40 min: Liverpool launch a rapid counter-attack which sees the ball moved left and then right to Salah in the box, who tries a little chip to the back post, but it’s headed clear by Diakite.
'Liverpool make more history'
Liverpool have made some history. They have set a new club record for the longest time between conceding goals in Europe, beating the 572-minute shutout recorded by Rafa Benitez's team in 2005-06. They have only conceded to Christian Pulisic in this season's Champions League, and after just three minutes of it.
Liverpool 1-0 Lille
36 min: That was Salah’s 50th European goal. No Liverpool player has reached that landmark before.
GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Lille (Salah, 34 min)
Tsimikas steals the ball from Jonathan David and Liverpool break quickly. A throughball finds Salah bursting in on goal, and he whips it around Chevalier and into the corner!
Beautifully taken – did I say something about Salah having a bad game? Eeesh.
Liverpool 0-0 Lille
32 min: Conor Bradley breathes a sigh of relief after giving the ball away on the edge of his own box, as Liverpool get back in numbers to stave off Lille’s attack.
Liverpool 0-0 Lille
30 min: Luis Diaz fizzes a cross into the box from the left wing and Salah can’t bring a vicious ball under control.
Liverpool 0-0 Lille
26 min: The set-piece is worked quickly into the feet of Salah, who tries to lift the ball into the danger zone, but it’s well overhit and drifts out for a goal-kick. Famous last words, but Salah is not having a very good game here.
Liverpool 0-0 Lille
24 min: Bradley is chopped down by Haraldsson and Liverpool will have a set-piece from deep on the right wing.
'French clubs flying high in Europe'
Lille have begun brightly here. One of the themes of this season's Champions League has been the overachievement of the French clubs, with the notable exception of the richest, Paris Saint-Germain. Lille, Brest and Monaco are all in contention for top-eight finishes. Arne Slot will have an interest in Lille's last game, too, as it is against his former club Feyenoord.
