A bit of space for Atletico to exploit in added time as Thomas Lemar flicks it wide and Joao Felix saunters towards the City box, but the return pass is not accurate enough and the visitors can gather. Into the third of three minutes added on.

That's a decent attempt! Naby Keita hits a rocket from distance, but it's always curving away from the right post.

Three minutes of added time to come.

Joao Felix rolls John Stones and is hauled back. Atletico's players swarm around the referee with hands and fingers in the air signalling for the Manchester City man to be booked. The official decides otherwise.

An injection from pace from Riyad Mahrez as he looks to accelerate beyond Renan Lodi, but the Atletico defender stays with him and City win a corner.

Jan Oblak comes through a melee of players to clear.

This first half has absolutely flown by. Liverpool still have the two-goal advantage which they started the game with, but Benfica are playing with much more confidence since their goal.

One more big chance to come before half-time?

Stefan Savic gives Phil Foden a nudge as the ball is running out for a throw - like a heavyweight boxer tickling the featherweight on the card before him. Foden laughs it off.

That's good from Manchester City, controlled possession with a purpose as they work Phil Foden in down the left of the area. But there are plenty of red and white shirts back behind the ball and the bandaged midfielder is forced back towards his own half.

Ederson is an amazing footballer. Think back years ago when the keepers were awful with their feet. Blimey, he is special.

Roberto Firmino is through! It's surely going to be a goal.

No! Firmino decides to slide the ball across goal towards Luis Diaz, rather than take the shot on, but a stunning slide tackle by Alex Grimaldo denies Diaz a tap-in.

Neat move down the left from Manchester City as Ilkay Gundogan feeds Joao Cancelo. The full-back chops back on to his right foot and looks to whip one from a tight angle but it's never dropping into the far corner.

Limbs and flares in the away end as Goncalo Ramos' goal was greeted by a huge roar by Benfica's fans.

There was a lengthy wait for a VAR check but the party is well and truly under way where the visiting supporters are gathered.

Now the travelling Benfica fans have found their voice.

Anfield has just gone a little quiet. The home fans are probably a bit unsure what to make of that goal after all the Champions League drama we witnessed last night.

Still, the visitors have a lot to do.

Antoine Griezmann is the latest Atletico player to arrive late, this time on Joao Cancelo. Wasn't too much in that one. Just trying to tenderise Pep Guardiola's side, the hosts...

Geoffrey Kondogbia works a bit of space outside the penalty area and fires a hopeful effort towards goal, it's flicks off a defender and Ederson is down smartly to gather.

Is Kevin de Bruyne hobbling? It doesn't look like he is moving totally freely.

The goal stands!

VAR took their time over it, but Benfica do have a goal back. Interesting.

Liverpool look in total control. Another sweeping team move sees Diogo Jota earn a corner.

Konate is on his way up again... But it's Roberto Firmino this time who goes close!

The Brazilian's header is deflected over by Jan Vertonghen, and Benfica get the resulting set-piece clear.

Gundogan should score, that is a big, big miss. The easiest of opportunities and somehow Atletico scramble it clear. Will Man City rue that miss?

How has that not gone in?! A proper goalmouth scramble that was sparked by Riyad Mahrez's delicious pass to Kyle Walker down the right, inside the full-back with the outside of his boot.

Walker flashes it across the face of goal and Phil Foden cuts it back to Ilkay Gundogan, who side-foots against the post and then Kevin de Bruyne can't turn it in as desperate Atletico boots flail around in an attempt to clear.
