Play by play
- 94'
Marseille become the first side to win at Anfield and they deserve all the plaudits they're going to get. They've played an abject Liverpool off the park and have Valbuena's stunning strike to thank for their historic victory.
- 94'
FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-1 MARSEILLE
- 93'
At the other end Cisse takes advantage of a Reina fumble and gets his shot off only for it to drop wide of the gaping net.
- 92'
Incredible goalscramble almost provides Liverpool with the equaliser. Torres smashes an effort against the post as Marseille struggle to clear. Pure mayhem inside the box.
- 91'
Benayoun finds some room at the back post but his header cannons off Givet and behind.
- 91'
Four minutes will be added.
- 90'
Hyypia rises unchallenged in the box but somehow can't direct his header goalwards and Marseille surive... for now.
- 89'
Six up front for Liverpool and they've forced a corner.
- 88'
Long balls are order of the day now. It's kitchen sink time for Liverpool who are trying all they can to find an unlikely leveller.
- 87'
A late change for the visitors as Zenden trudges off for Modeste M'Bami.
- 85'
11-8 reads the shots count in favour of the visitors. That shouldn't surprise you because they really have bullied Liverpool here.
- 84'
Liverpool press forward in search of a crucial equaliser. Plenty of possession but not in the areas that count.
- 83'
Star of the show Valbuena comes off to a warm reception from those in the away end. Wilson Oruma comes on for the closing stages.
- 82'
A few jeers and moans from the Anfield faithful sum up their thoughts on the Liverpool performance.
- 81'
Ziani gets another shot on target for the French. It was speculative and just the right height for Reina to clutch.
- 80'
10 minutes remain for Liverpool to level, though despite their pitiful performance.
- 78'
This has been a remarkable performance from Marseille. What a breath of fresh air they have been and should they hold on for another 15 or so minutes, they'll become the first French side to ever win at Anfield.
- 76'
Boy do they deserve that! They've been in disarray for the past five minutes and eventually crumble. Mind you, not many would have been able to keep MATHIEU VALBUENA'S effort out. He curled it from five yards outside the box and it rattled in off the bar. Tremendous goal!
- 76'
GOAL: LIVERPOOL 0-1 MARSEILLE
- 75'
Cisse gets into space on the left edge of the box but scuffs his right foot effort and Reina can gather.
- 74'
Once again Crouch fails to finish a game. He has produced precious little tonight though and can't have too many complaints. Kuyt comes on in his place.
- 73'
Marseille certainly don't deserve to leave Anfield without at least a point and they survive a rare attack from a corner as Hyypia nods wide from five yards. Tough chance, yards wide.
- 72'
Another goal in Valencia and it's gone to Chelsea thanks to Didier Drogba's fine finish.
- 71'
For 70 minutes Marseille have passed confidently and dominated proceedings. But there's 20 minutes to go and Liverpool will not want to finish without a goal.
- 70'
All square at Celtic as Milan hit back with a penalty.
