Liverpool secured their qualification to the knockout stages of the Europa League with a 2-1 win over Bordeaux at Anfield.
The home side fell behind after Simon Mignolet had a horrific couple of minutes. He was penalised for holding onto the ball for too long and then got nowhere near the strike by Henri Saivet.
The Reds were level soon after when Lamine Sané inexplicably pulled down Christian Benteke in the penalty area. James Milner took the resulting spot-kick and calmly slotted it away.
Jurgen Klopp’s men went ahead on the stroke of half-time when Benteke hammered home from the edge of the penalty area.
The second half was a scrappy affair, but ultimately, the result was all that mattered.
Let’s take a look at the player ratings.
