Europa League: Liverpool knocked out of Europe
Liverpool's quest for silverware is over for another season following a goalless draw with Braga at Anfield on Thursday night. The Reds could not overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg of their Europa League last 16 encounter with The Arsenalists. The result means a fifth-place finish in the Barclays Premier League is now likely to be required to secure participation in continental competition next term. It should have been a night to remember...

Europa League: SC Braga 1-0 Liverpool (1st leg)
Liverpool suffered their first European defeat of the season as they were beaten 1-0 by Braga in the Europa League last 16, first-leg tie on Thursday night. The home team got the only goal of the evening in Portugal on 18 minutes with Alan comfortably beating Pepe Reina from the penalty spot after Sotirios Kyrgiakos had brought down Mossoro in the area. Liverpool struggled to muster a response and though Andy Carroll's introduction as an early second-half substitute did inject new life into their play, Braga were able to see out the contest to...

Europa League: Dirk Kuyt sent the Reds into the last 16
Liverpool will face SC Braga in the last 16 of the Europa League. Dirk Kuyt headed home a later winner as Liverpool booked their place in the last 16 of the Europa League with a 1-0 win over Sparta Prague on Thursday night. The Dutchman was left unmarked to guide in Raul Meireles's 86th minute corner after it had looked like the side from the Czech Republic would force extra-time. It means the Reds are now unbeaten in eight games under boss Kenny...

Europa League: Sparta Prague 0-0 Liverpool
Liverpool will take a creditable goalless draw back to Anfield following a laboured Europa League last 32 first leg clash with Sparta Prague. Kenny Dalglish's first ever continental match in charge of the Reds will not live long in the memory - but it was the visitors who were the happier come the final whistle. The contest will now be decided on Merseyside in one week's time to see who will face Braga or Lech in the last 16. All the pre-match...

Match Highlights: Liverpool 0-0 Utrecht
Liverpool endured a frustrating 90 minutes as they rounded off their Europa League Group K campaign with a goalless draw against Utrecht on Wednesday night. The Reds created the better openings but could not find the breakthrough to equal the club's record of nine successive home victories in Europe. However, the result does ensure that Roy Hodgson's men conclude the group stage undefeated with 10 points from six games played and means they can now look forward to Friday's draw for the knockout stages. Ahead of the match the boss opted to make...

Pepe Reina howler almost cost Liverpool qualification in Europa League
Pepe Reina held his hands up after his mistake prevented Liverpool celebrating progress to the knockout stages of the Europa League with a victory. An uncharacteristic 61st-minute blunder from Reina – who claimed to have been bothered by a laser pen in the crowd during the first half – saw the goalkeeper allow a tame Eder Bonfim header to squirm through his grasp and over the goalline to earn Steaua Bucharest a 1-1 draw in Romania. However, the...
Europa League: Steaua Bucharest 1-1 Liverpool
Liverpool sealed a place in the last 32 of the Europa League after a 1-1 draw with Steaua Bucharest in Romania on Thursday night. Milan Jovanovic headed the Reds into a 19th minute lead when he converted Ryan Babel's cross, somewhat against the run of the early play. Steaua drew level on the hour when a rare mistake from Pepe Reina allowed a tame header from Eder Bonfim to roll over the line. Both sides had chances to win the game, with Sotirios Kyrgiakos coming closest when he cannoned a header against the crossbar. However, the result was...

Europa League: Liverpool 3-1 Napoli

Europa League: Liverpool 4-1 Steaua Bucharest
Joe Cole scored his first goal for Liverpool and David Ngog notched a brace as the Reds beat Steaua Bucharest 4-1 in the Europa League on Thursday night. The midfielder had the honour of firing home the club's fastest ever goal in European competition on 27 seconds before Ngog (penalty) and substitute Lucas Leiva put them back in the driving seat after Cristian Tanase had levelled with a sublime first-half finish. Ngog then put the icing on the cake with a well taken fourth in injury-time to take his tally to six for the season so far. It means...

Europa League Group K opponents and dates
Liverpool have been drawn alongside Steaua Bucharest, Napoli and Utrecht in Europa League Group K. It means Roy Hodgson's men will face a reunion with Andrea Dossena in a first ever meeting with Diego Maradona's former club. Liverpool took on Steaua back in the 2003-04 season when Gerard Houllier's men secured a 2-1 aggregate success in the UEFA Cup, second round. Djimi Traore got the all-important away goal in Romania before Harry Kewell netted...

Europa League: Trabzonspor 1-2 Liverpool goal highlights
Liverpool secured a safe passage into the group stage of the Europa League after grinding out a 2-1 win over Trabzonspor in Turkey as Roy Hodgson became the first Reds boss since Bill Shankly to win his first four European games in charge of the club. The home side could not have wished for a better start as Teofilo Gutierrez converted inside the opening three minutes to void Ryan Babel's first-leg Anfield winner of one week ago. Trabzonspor dominated the opening 45 and should have perhaps furthered their lead through captain Ibrahima Yattara,...

Transfer rumours: Kuyt and Mascherano latest
Roy Hodgson has reiterated that Dik Kuyt is not for sale, insisting the Dutchman is a key part of his Liverpool plans. It has been suggested in some quarters that the 30-year-old's future could lay elsewhere other than Anfield, but the manager was robust when answering questions from journalists about the forward's future. "We have not received any offer. Dirk Kuyt has not told me he wants to go. "We don't want an offer and at...

Europa League: Liverpool 1-0 Trabzonspor First Leg Highlights
A Ryan Babel strike has given Liverpool a slender 1-0 advantage following the first leg of their Europa League play-off against Trabzonspor.
