Liverpool vs Bordeaux

1. 92'

   It was never in doubt as Liverpool cruise to victory thanks to a double from Luis Garcia and Gerrard's first goal of the season. Liverpool go through to the next stage thanks to PSV's win against Galatasaray.

2. 92'

   FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 3-0 BORDEAUX

3. 91'

   Lovely football from Liverpool. They put the extra man to good use and Fowler just fails to hit the target from Pennant's fierce cross from the right.

4. 90'

   Two minutes are added. But all that means is two more minutes of agony for Bordeaux.

5. 89'

   Fowler tries an ambitious lob after Kuyt's through ball, but the angle was tight and the effort was misguided.

6. 88'

   The sting has certainly come out of the contest now and here comes that famous song.

7. 86'

   How has Hyypia missed? The defender reacts first to Rame's spill from Gerrard's low shot only to somehow divert his header over the bar when the goal was gaping.

8. 85'

   Good hit from Sissoko. The ball drops nicely for the Frenchman on the edge of the box and he cracks it towards the top corner. But it's a fine flying save from Rame.

9. 84'

   It won't be long before 'You'll never walk alone' will break out around the stands.

10. 83'

    The pace has dropped off considerably now and no wonder. Liverpool are keen to play down the clock while Bordeaux know they're heading out of the competition.

11. 81'

    Faubert whips in a cross after an exquiste piece of skill that bamboozles Gerrard. But nothing comes of the cross apart from a Liverpool throw.

12. 79'

    Riise tries his luck from a long way out, maybe 35 yards. It dips but Rame is well-placed to make a comfortable catch.

13. 78'

    Robbie Fowler comes on for the Spaniard. Will he be able to get his first ever Champions League goal?

14. 77'

    It's party time at Anfield! Luis Garcia robs Faubert and runs through on goal and slots his cool finish past Rame. A well-taken goal and his last action of the night.

15. 76'

    GOAL: LIVERPOOL 3-0 BORDEAUX Luis Garcia

16. 74'

    A final change for Bordeaux as Micoud comes off for Mavuba. But it makes little difference now. Liverpool are coasting.

17. 73'

    With Liverpool out of sight, Benitez opts to bring on Pennant for Crouch.

18. 72'

    Egg on the face moment for yours truly. Gerrard steams through the Bordeaux defence and plants a side-foot effort under Rame. Just as I write him off for the night he rises to the ocassion and tucks away his first goal of the season.

19. 71'

    It certainly isn't Gerrard's night. Liverpool may be cruising but the scouser has just missed a guilt-edged chance from close range. He slashes wide and over.

20. 70'

    Good news for Liverpool as PSV take the lead against Galatasaray. If the scores remain the same PSV and Liverpool are going through.

21. 68'

    Play calms down and the ole's ring around Anfield as the hosts spread the ball around with ease.

22. 67'

    A frantic couple of minutes that has all but ended Bordeaux's chances of getting back into this match and it really was a silly incident that was right in front of the linesman. What was he thinking?

23. 66'

    Riise has blood streaming from his eye and the guilty culprit is Fernando who butted the defender in the face. A nasty incident that leave Bordeaux with 10 men and Riise needing treatment.

24. 66'

    RED CARD: Fernando (Bordeaux)

25. 63'

    A lull in the game now with Liverpool keen to retain possession and break up any passing moves from Bordeaux.
