Liverpool vs Lille LIVE! Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Liverpool booked their spot in the last 16 of the Champions League with a 2-1 victory over 10-man Lille on Tuesday at Anfield, thanks to goals from talisman Mohamed Salah and substitute Harvey Elliott.

Arne Slot's men maintained their 100% record and top the 36-team table with 21 points, three points clear of second-placed Barcelona with one game of the league phase remaining.

Salah netted his 50th European goal for Liverpool in the 34th minute when he sprinted onto a long pass from Curtis Jones before curling a shot around goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.

Despite being reduced to 10 men when Aissa Mandi was shown his second yellow card in the 59th minute, Jonathan David levelled for the visitors three minutes later when he hammered home the loose ball after Hakon Arnar Haraldsson's shot was blocked.

Liverpool quickly regained the lead when a corner was headed out to the edge of the box and Elliott fired a crisp shot that took a wild deflection into the net in the 67th minute.

Arne Slot praises Liverpool star who helped spark Darwin Nunez heroics: 'Don't forget him'

18:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

Arne Slot was full of praise for Darwin Nunez after his dramatic late brace for Liverpool against Brentford, but also singled out Harvey Elliott’s important contributions off the bench.

Despite producing a huge total of 37 shots, the Premier League leaders looked to be heading towards a third consecutive frustrating top-flight draw at the Gtech Community Stadium that would have left their lead at the summit vulnerable to being cut down to as low as two points with title rivals Arsenal hosting Aston Villa later on Saturday.
