Liverpool vs Spartak Moscow

1. 90'

   It's immaterial though as the final whistle goes. Liverpool get their Champions League campaign running at last and, with Basle taking a pummelling from Valencia tonight, the Reds are still in shape to qualify for Phase Two

2. 90'

   Heskey hungry for a hat-trick goes it alone with Owen in support. Keeper Cherchessov lunges - howls for a spot-kick but ref Hamer is well-placed.

3. 88'

   Easily cleared though... More great work from Owen allows Heskey the chance to shoot. A low drive and his second goal makes it five

4. 85'

   Dudek called into rare action as Kalinichenko fires at goal - corner

5. 83'

   Cheyrou replaced by Diouf

6. 81'

   Owen makes himself space with a delightful turn. Heskey's on the far side - he crosses and Diao arrives late to score his first for the Reds. 4-0 Liverpool

7. 78'

   Owen fires from an acute angle on the right - Cherchessov does well to get both hands up for the save

8. 76'

   Gerrard gets a great ovation as he is replaced by Senagalese international Salif Diao

9. 75'

   Heskey turns to release Owen dropping off to the inside-right. Cheyrou's at the far post for the first-time whack but it's wasteful

10. 73'

    Delightful back-heel by Murphy finds Owen. A great chip find Heskey in support but his header is poor and Cherchessov scrambles a save

11. 72'

    Pavlenko gets to the byeline in a rare Russian attack, but Riise blocks. Throw-in reaches Kebe on the far side and Dudek is beaten as the ball just goes wide of goal

12. 71'

    Heskey caught offside as Murphy and Owen combine sweetly

13. 69'

    Gerrard races down the right flank, but is overambitious in looking for Owen on the far side. Spartak can clear

14. 67'

    Ferocious drive is parried by Cherchessov and somehow Owen is denied with the rebound... Corner and the keeper goes down - freekick

15. 66'

    On comes Traore for Henchoz

16. 65'

    Murphy drives at the heart of the Spartak rearguard but Heskey and Cheyrou over-elaborate and the danger comes to nought

17. 64'

    Moises steps in to deny Owen, who must be very keen to score his first European goal of the season against this defending...

18. 63'

    Abramidze replaces the tiring Kovtun

19. 62'

    Owen finds Gerrard with a neat flick but Kebe's there to push it out of play

20. 61'

    Valencia now lead Basle 5-1 at the Mestalla - a goal each in the second period

21. 60'

    Gerrard takes - Heskey up for the header but a Spartak touch means another corner. Mitreski clears

22. 59'

    Cheyrou hammers the free-kick - off Da Silva for a corner

23. 58'

    'Oles' all round as the Reds ping the ball about. Heskey suddenly turns Kovtun inside-out, but the veteran defender hauls him down. Another yellow card

24. 57'

    Kebe's surge forward run is ended by Henchoz. Throw-in gets worked back to Kebe whose cross is gathered by the up-to-now unemployed Dudek

25. 56'

    Kebe sees yellow - not for fouling Gerrard but for 'questioning' the referee afterwards. Hamer having none of it
