Liverpool on brink of Champions League exit

Wed Nov 4 2009 21:51:54

Liverpool conceded a 90th-minute goal at Lyon to leave their Champions League hopes hanging in the balance.

Substitute Ryan Babel had put the Reds ahead late on with a 25-yard thunderbolt into the top corner.

But some sloppy defending from the Reds allowed Lisandro through on goal and he calmly chipped a shot over Reds keeper Pepe Reina to dramatically equalise.

Liverpool had dominated most of the match but were guilty of wasting a number of earlier chances.

It means Liverpool could be knocked out if Fiorentina beat Lyon next time out.
