Liverpool vs Lille, 2nd Leg Liverpool win 3-1 on aggregate

Thanks for following tonight's game on Soccernet. Join us again this weekend for live coverage of the Premier League. Bye!

The two remaining English sides march on to the last 8 of the Europa League tonight.

A job well done in the end but Liverpool were living dangerously for long periods of the second half.

But that's all meaningless now as the final whistle sounds! Liverpool are through.

It has just come to my attention that Torres was about to be subbed before he scored.

And there are seconds remaining...

Liverpool subs: N'Gog for Torres, Kyrgiakos for Agger.

Lille are finished now. That was a killer blow just when Lille were looking as though they could snatch a winner.

Torres puts the tie beyond Lille. Gerrard capitalised on a misunderstanding in the Lille defence and burst through. His hot was saved and fell at the feet of Torres, who re-adjusts his body to finish from close range.

3-0 TO LIVERPOOL!

Some respite for Liverpool, Benayoun's clearance almost finds Torres, who is isolated up front.

Reina flabbed at the corner but Kuyt punted it to safety. Liverpool are intense pressure here.

Dangerous times for Liverpool, Lille have a corner.

Hazard is subbed and not a moment too soon. He will have done his hopes for a move to the Premier League no good with a quiet performance at Anfield tonight.

Lille sub: Vandam (not Claude) is on for Hazard.

The resulting corner from Gerrard finds the head of Torres, but the Spaniard heads wide.

Kuyt wins a corner for Liverpool. He drills a low shot that Landreau parries.

Rafa Benitez is making some odd hand gestures on the touchline, I think he's asking for Liverpool to raise the tempo.

Cabaye picks up a yellow card for dissent. It looks like he kicked the ball away.

Benayoun will be expected to do the tracking back that Gerrard isn't doing, I suspect.

Liverpool sub: Benayoun on for Babel.

Hazard skips past the challenge of Insua and puts a cross in which Reina comes out and catches. Liverpool are living dangerously.

Insua shoots from the edge of the box after being assisted by Babel. Just over.

The tension is mounting for Liverpool. An audible sigh of relief from the fans every time a Lille attack breaks down. Liverpool look tired.

And Aubameyang is offside but that was close. Despite my initial scepticism Aubameyang has looked very dangerous and sometime soon he will be onside.
