    Really scruffy goal and really sloppy play. Fiorentina really haven't deserved that goal but having said that through all the dominance they have had, Spurs haven't created many chances.

    BBC Scotland's Alasdair Lamont: Wow. 60 seconds is a long time in football! Inter were absolutely cruising and all of a sudden they're punch-drunk. This game is back on and how!

    Fiorentina hit back, and it is against the run of play. It is a disappointing goal as far as Tottenham are concerned as Jose Maria Basanta scrambles home in a crowded box after Hugo Lloris had denied a fierce drive seconds earlier.

  4. CLOSE!published at 20:41 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2015

    Demba Ba. Liverpool's tormentor almost scores again at Anfield as he runs on to a through ball and uses his pace to power through the defence. He shoots low from outside the box but Simon Mignolet does superbly to push it behind.

    Liverpool are also having plenty of freedom out wide, but their final ball is lacking. Instead it is Besiktas who go closest to an opening goal as Veli Kavlak powers a header just over from Ersan Gulum's corner.

    Fiorentina are struggling to deal with Andros Townsend on the right wing. The Spurs man is allowed to run down the line and then cut inside to the edge of the area. Still defenders back off so Townsend has a go at goal, but his shot is deflected wide.

  7. Elsewhere in Europe...published at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2015

    Not much going on elsewhere in the Europa League, though Dynamo Kiev have scored at French side Guingamp, leading 1-0.

    The rest of the games remain goalless.

    This looks a chance for Liverpool! Philippe Coutinho sees a gap in the defence and plays the ball for Alberto Moreno to run on to, but he is offside.

    Scenes at Celtic Park as two goals in two minutes bring the hosts level. Stefan Johansen loops the ball into the box following a throw-in and Stuart Armstrong puts enough pressure on Hugo Campagnaro to make the Inter defender knock into his own goal at the near-post. What a noise at Celtic.

    Adam Matthews bursts down the right brilliantly for Celtic and cuts the ball back into the box where Stuart Armstrong is there to mark his European debut for the club with a simple finish.

    Ash Williams:, external Inter are proving why Scottish teams should not be in European competition. A hammering coming up!

    Toyosi Levi:, external As a Liverpool supporter, I prefer the Europa League over the Champions League.

    Edward Parham:, external Nice seeing Soldado score so early on in this tie! Surely that will be a massive confidence boost!

    No clear cut chances as yet at Anfield but Jordon Ibe has been very impressive in the opening exchanges. He has been heavily involved in almost all of Liverpool's attacks, although those have been few and far between. It is all pretty cagey.

    Tottenham are back on the attack as first Christian Eriksen shoots over the bar before a Roberto Soldado brimming with confidence goes for an overhead, but hits it straight at Ciprian Tatarusanu in the Fiorentina goal.

    BBC Scotland's Alasdair Lamont: Celtic Park is in something of a state of shock at the loss of those two early goals. Celtic have been in such good form, recording eight successive domestic wins, but they haven't faced a team as good as this for some time and it shows.

    "Ever so slowly Fiorentina are creeping back into the game. Salah, on loan from Chelsea, is looking good for them. However it may well play into Spurs hands if they start to over commit."

    Great reaction from Jan Vertonghen to deny Mohamed Salah for Fiorentina. The midfielder, on loan at the Italian side from Chelsea, gets a lucky bounce inside the Spurs area to put him clear on goal but Vertonghen is back quickly to divert his effort behind.

    Besiktas build their first real attack as Gokhan Tore's high ball finds Demba Ba on the edge of the area. He holds the ball up, but can't find a team-mate as Liverpool clear.

    Matt Cartwright:, external Great goal from Soldado, if he could only do that more often!

    Pieter Troffaes:, external Oof, that's a fantastic goal by Soldado after a sweet pass to set up Chadli.

    Von Blade:, external Understating that goal somewhat there. Outstanding finish.

    Xherdan Shaqiri has a shot blocked by Craig Gordon but from the resulting corner the same player knocks the ball back into the box and Argentine Rodrigo Palacio reacts quickest to bury it beyond Craig Gordon.

    Fiorentina cannot get the ball out of their half with Tottenham well in control. Roberto Soldado's cross goes over the bar, before an effort by the lively Paulinho is blocked.
