Play by play

91'
An easy three points for the Reds and PSV look set to finish bottom of the group and even miss out on the UEFA Cup.
90'
The final whistle brings an end to this training match for Liverpool. PSV only had Amrabat who offer anything - he might be one to look out for in the future.
89'
Kuyt lofts the ball into the box for Torres, who controls the ball with ease and stes up Lucas for a shot. The Brazilian's effort is heading in but a PSV defender makes a last gasp block.
88'
Alonso gets past Pieters and looks to shoot but Salcido races in from the wing to block his shot. A good effort this late on in the match.
87'
In other news it looks like an exciting end to the match in Cluj. Chelsea are still being held 0-0 and could have just gone 1-0 down, but for a great save from Cech.
86'
Liverpool could easily see out this game with only ten men but Babel comes back on anyway to help out his team-mates.
85'
The Dutchman goes off the pitch to get some treatment.
84'
Babel takes a blow on the leg from Amrabat and he looks injured. Replays show his foot stuck in the turf and he twisted his ankle.
83'
PSV are probing but can't find a way through.
82'
Kuyt chases down a lost cause and makes somethign of it. He drags the ball past the left-back and then falls over as he shapes to make the cross.
80'
Liverpool react by making another change. Gerrard goes off, to a standing ovation, of course, and Babel comes on to face his countrymen.
79'
Too little too late for the visitors I would think but at least they have got a goal.
78'
PSV react by racing forward down the right wing. The cross comes in and Koevermans beats Skrtel to the ball to score from close range. GOAL!!!
77'
That is his 100th goal for Liverpool. And in front of the Kop too. A dream come true for the Liverpool skipper.
76'
Gerrard takes the freekick. Carragher flicks the ball to him and he curls a shot round the end of the wall and into the back of the net. GOAL!!!
75'
Liverpool take this opportunity to make a sunstitution. Lucas comes on for Keane, who goes off to a standing ovation.
74'
Torres races clear of the PSV defence. Marcellis gives chase and brings down the striker for a freekick.
73'
Amrabat backs Arbeloa into the box. He picks out Koevermans with a cut-back but the strikers shot is blocked by Carragher - it did look to be creeping in at the far post.
72'
Lucas is getting ready to join the action for Liverpool.
70'
PSV produce a slick passage of play. The full-back Salcido finds himself in nosebleed territory and crosses for Koevermans at the back post. The striker can't direct his header towards goal.
69'
Gerrard latches onto a cut-back in midfield and attempts a trademark long-range strike; but shanks his shot wide.
68'
Liverpool make a change. Riera goes off and Benayoun joins the action.
67'
Gerrard slides a pass through the PSV defence but Salcido gets there just ahead of Keane and snuffs out the danger.
65'
It looks like there is some activity on the Liverpool bench. Changes are imminent.
64'
A misplaced back pass from Kromkamp allows Torres to break free and race inot the box. As the keeper comes out the striker shoots inches wide of the far post.
