11' JUST OVER! The ensuing corner is met by Firmino in the centre and he gets plenty of pace behind his header, but it crashes onto the roof of the net!
10' RICO SAVES! The excellent response from Liverpool continues as Mane does well to get into a pocket of space in the area and on the end of a pull-back, but his effort is parried behind smartly by Rico! They're knocking on the door!
8' Penalty appeals denied! Kjaer shoves Mane to ground, clearly blocking his path to goal without playing the ball, and despite being just a few feet away, the referee doesn't award a penalty! A bit of controversy to add to Liverpool fans' frustrations.
7' Liverpool respond admirably to the early set-back, nearly equalising inside of two minutes. Georginio Wijnaldum has a go at goal from just outside the penaly area, and his effort takes a generous deflection to leave the keeper flat-footed, but drifts inches wide of the near post!
5' Smart running on the overlap from Escudero, whose cross somehow gets through Lovren, as he's credited with an assist.
21' Moreno provides the assist.
21' BACK ON LEVEL TERMS! That's a goal out of the top drawer from Liverpool! Splendid interplay as they break forward, with Moreno played through on the end of a one-two with Henderson, before rifling a pass across the face of goal where Firmino is waiting to redirect it into the empty net! Stunning!
19' Sevilla remain well organised in defence, but they're dropping deeper and deeper towards their own goal as they struggle to find a way to pass out from deep in their end. They really are inviting Liverpool to attack - not what you want to do up against this sort of quality.
17' Poorly worked free-kick from Liverpool as they win one just to the left of the penalty area, a few yards out from goal. Moreno winds up sending in a cross, but there's too much height and not nearly enough pace behind it as Sevilla clear their lines with ease.
