Wil fits bill for Blues

Sadio Mane swung in a cross that Sturridge turned over from five yards. Sturridge would be substituted at half-time.

And his miss would prove costly when Marko Marin’s corner was powered in by Red Star team-mate Pavkov in the 22nd minute.

Two men who did not feature at Anfield were running the show for Red Star and the noise level somehow went up another notch.

Just seven minutes later, the lead was doubled as sloppy play allowed Pavkov to gain possession and brush off Georginio Wijnaldum before hammering in a second goal from 25 yards.

Not bad for Red Star’s third-choice forward (celebrating, below) who cost no more than £100,000.

Liverpool’s hopes of getting something here was looking impossible against a side who had not conceded more than once at home in 18 months. Lallana had a header deflected wide, but they trudged off at the break after one of the worst first-half displays under German boss Klopp. A Robertson cross hit the Red Star bar after the restart, but it was not until the 70th minute that Liverpool finally had a shot on target. Mo Salah’s strike was pushed away by keeper Milan Borjan and from the resulting corner the Egypt frontman also hit the outside of a post. Defender Virgil van Dijk (inset, left) also looped a header over, but in truth Liverpool were without their usual attacking verve on a night to forget. They now face a trip to Paris before hosting Napoli at Anfield and it will not be an easy path to the knockout stages.

Bournemouth’s in-form hotshot Wilson is being tracked by the Londoners after his impressive start to the season.

The 26-year-old striker has scored seven goals and set up four for Eddie Howe’s Cherries so far this season.

His form has led to a clamour for him to be included in Gareth Southgate’s next England squad which is announced tomorrow.
