Match Commentary
94' Right, well. Decent game, and Liverpool can count themselves lucky to come away with all three points. Carragher, Reina and Gerrard were outstanding but Marseille caused them bother and should have had a couple more goals. A good start for the Reds though. |
93' Niang! He's missed a glorious chance! A brilliant lay-off header from Samassa tees up Niang and his powerful shot rebounds off Pepe Reina's right foot and with that the game is won!! |
92' Niang gets round the back and squares it for no-one, then Cheyrou nods across goal but Reina clutches the ball to his chest before it reached Samassa who would have had a tap in. |
