Play by play

93'
That's it! Arsenal get out of jail after a nightmare start in which they conceded two goals in four minutes. Three goals have rescued them though, despite the dodgy second.
92'
Great challenge Gael Clichy to prevent De Camargo from shooting. That could have been an equaliser...
91'
Three minutes added...
90'
Diaby shoots wide but he'd been penalised for handball anyway...
88'
Arsenal trying to run the clock down now....
87'
Nicaise fouls Song...
86'
A poor cross from Ramsey means Bendtner can't collect a ball in front of goal. It should have been 4-2.

Eduardo is off and Wilshere is coming on. The Croatian striker rescued an awful game with a goal.
84'
Witsel is coming off and Traore Moussa is coming on...
83'
The stadium is silent all of a sudden - that has knocked the stuffing right out of Liege's fans.
82'
What a turnaround in this game! Arsenal hardly deserve it but they are somehow leading...
81'
He's had a shocker today but he knees the ball into the net from six yards out after a corner. He's redeemed himself for the earlier error.
81'
GOAL! Eduardo!
80'
Now Vermaelen has a flick from the corner cleared off the line! Arsenal reborn!
79'
What a save from Bolat! An incisive move (finally) from Arsenal as Fabregas gets to the byline and pulls it back for Eduardo. His shot is net-bound but the 'keeper makes a brilliant save..
78'
How that is not offside I don't know, Song was two yards off then handballed it into the path of Vermaelen who taps in from two yards!
78'
GOAL! Vermaelen! What a scrappy one!
77'
Eduardo buys a free kick with two defenders in attendance. Sagna and Wilshire are coming on but after the set piece.
76'
Mannone tries to chuck the ball out but Witsel got in his way and gets booked.
75'
Liege win a corner...
74'
Fabregas shoots from 25 yards but got no power in it.
73'
A decent ball in from Carcela sees Gallas stretching to clear.
72'
Eboue gets the ball wide on the right and hammers a cross straight out of play. Arsenal have reverted to their shocking first half ways.
71'
Ramsey skips around a challenge and has a pop but his daisy cutter is held by Bolat.
70'
Arsenal change. Rosicky comes off and Aaron Ramsey goes on.
