Play by play

93'
What a game and what an escape for Liverpool. They were 3-0 up at home but contrived to let Galatasaray back into it. The visitors battled hard and showed they are not a bad side; but gave themselves too much to do after being shellshocked in the first half.

Full time!

There's a certain irony here: Liverpool won the European Cup in Turkey after being 3-0 down. Tonight Liverpool went 3-0 up against Turkish opposition and nearly threw it away... Ok, so it's not irony, but you see the point... maybe. I'll shut up.

You have to wonder why Liverpool didn't bring on Sissoko when they were cruising at 3-0 and the game was in the bag, but getting too open in the centre?
