Mario Balotelli takes the ball off Jordan Henderson, the striker wants this...
Chance for Liverpool here as Jordon Ibe is fouled inside the area, penalty. But who takes it...?
Raheem Sterling's direct running finally awakens Anfield as he charges forward on a counter, sliding the ball out wide to Daniel Sturridge, who gets into the area but his attempted chip lands on the roof of the net.
Mark Savile:, external Liverpool have been good up to the 18 yard box, missing that final 5%
Dave:, external Liverpool trying to pass it into the net. Not gonna happen lads. Shoooooooooot!!!!
Colin Todd:, external Not sure why Balotelli takes free kicks, can't remember him scoring one before.
For all their dominance, lacklustre defending could be Tottenham downfall in this game. Mohamed Salah is allowed to get inside the area, the legs of Spurs' defenders trying desperately to hack clear, eventually succeedin. A lucky bounce and Salah could have sneaked in there.
Dejan Lovren heads over from a free-kick before Raheem Sterling makes his return from injury, replacing Adam Lallana. He has 13 minutes to make an impact.
This has not been a great half, about the most entertaining thing has been Mario Balotelli's outstanding moustache.
Raheem Sterling is getting ready to come on.
After a breathless first half in which five goals were scored, there's been nothing to add in the second half.

Lovely flick by Roberto Soldado puts Paulinho through on goal but his shot is pushed behind for a corner. Andros Townsend is then substituted, receiving a standing ovation as he goes off after an excellent display, Erik Lamela replaces him.
Steve Howes:, external So Brendan Rodgers promised the real European Liverpool would arrive six months late. Well so far they've not arrived.
Elton Nkhata:, external Even if Liverpool lose, I see a good future, especially for Jordon Ibe.
Mark Wilkins:, external This game needed something, let's hope that super Mario's introduction is the catalyst?
Chance for Fiorentina as Mario Gomez receives a pass midway inside the Tottenham area, breaks into the box and wrongfoots two defenders but his good work is undone when he shoots over the bar.
Villarreal were pegged back by a Jonathan Soriano penalty for Salzburg, but re-establish their lead thanks to a Denis Cheryshev strike at the Madrigal.
No change in the rest of the games since half-time.
Harry Kane is on for Nacer Chadli for the remaining 25 minutes while Marcos Alonso replaces Manuel Pasqual for Fiorentina.
Dejan Lovren and Mario Balotelli do indeed come on, replacing Joe Allen and Philippe Coutinho. Can Balotelli inject a bit of life into this game?
Over in London, Harry Kane is receiving instructions as he prepares to come on. Marcos Alonso is also about to come on for Fiorentina. Alonso was a Bolton player when Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch at White Hart Lane back in 2012.
Dejan Lovren and Mario Balotelli look set to come on. Liverpool certainly need something, they've been very flat in this half.

Harry Kane has become the focal point for the Tottenham attack. If he comes on, he will give the whole team a lift. If they can take a 2-1 lead to Italy they have a great chance to qualify.
Desperate defending by Beskitas as Martin Skrtel shoots goalwards, his shot is blocked before Jordan Henderson drags a shot wide from the edge of the area.
Tottenham have Fiorentina struggling to get out of their own half, they are pinging in crosses like there is no tomorrow but each and every one is failing to find a Tottenham player. Harry Kane o'clock?
Slowbear:, external Pochettino needs to unleash Harry Kane!
Ste Dooney:, external Crazy night so far in the Europa League and there's still 45 mins left to run! This competition deserves so much more respect.
CFC Warrior:, external What a cross that was from Henderson. Liverpool wont miss Gerrard that much with him in the side.
