    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool are building as Kostas Tsimikas fires in a dangerous cross after good hold-up play from Darwin Nunez.

    LASK keeper Tobias Lawal steps out to blast the ball away with his feet with Liverpool forwards waiting just behind the stopper.

    Re Ian 18:09, it’s not about that. These clubs have big squads and everyone needs to have a bit of opportunity to play. What do you suggest, they rest the likes of Salah against Arsenal or City instead of against LASK?

    Embarrassing but no surprise considering the understrength team selection. If it stays like this we'll look like a third rate team in a second rate competition.

    Legia Warsaw 2-1 Aston Villa

    Legia Warsaw come forward after Aston Villa once again give the ball away in a dangerous area.

    Ernest Muci drives forward with pace and he looks through again. Ezri Konsa brings him down in the area but there's nothing in it and it's a challenge that has got his side out of further trouble.

    That's two poor goals for Aston Villa to concede. Just switching off on both occasions.

    What have they got in response?

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    Better from Liverpool as a ball over the top finds Darwin Nunez, but the forward's shot on the half turn is blocked by a LASK defender.

    It's not been a great Thursday for English sides in Europe so far.

    Ernest Muci (25 mins)

    Aston Villa caught out once again.

    This time the ball comes in from Pawel Wszolek on the right-hand side. He loses Lucas Digne and Ernset Muci just tucks it away on the half volley.

    It looks tight and VAR have a look but the goal stands.

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    LASK are very happy to keep the ball as Liverpool step back.

    Neither side have done much since Florian Flecker's stunning opener.

    Why do Premier League coaches continue to believe that their reserve teams are good enough to win the Europa League? For all the criticism of Moyes last year, at least he recognised the need to play the 1st XI.

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    Just as it did against Bournemouth and Wolves in the league, it seems only a matter of time before Liverpool equalise.

    Harvey Elliott crosses for Darwin Nunez but the Uruguayan's header flies over the bar.

    Ouch.

    Patryk Kun is straight into the book for a challenge on Leon Bailey. Bit of a nasty one, flying in late with studs up dragged down the leg.

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    Jurgen Klopp looks on, standing on the edge of his technical area. The Europa League is the only major competition he's managed in which he hasn't won.

    Legia Warsaw 1-1 Aston Villa

    Legia Warsaw drive forward but the attack is quickly cut out by Aston Villa. The visitors are certainly seeing more of the ball but haven't managed to create much in the way of chances.

    Legia come again, though, and Pawel Wszolek tries to connect with it on the edge of the area but mis-hits. Decent opportunity.

    Liverpool concede early? Who would have thought?

    Anon

    Phew, I can relax now Liverpool have gone 1-0 down. Business as usual. I was worried we would take the lead and not know what to do.

    Paul, Ipswich

    Why are we constantly conceding first? Always have to go a goal down before we kick into gear.

    How do the visitors respond? Ben Doak continues to look bright in the inside-right channel.

    He drills another pass across the face of goal but no Liverpool player is running in at the back post.

    Legia Warsaw 1-1 Aston Villa

    Legia Warsaw have a corner but it misses absolutely everyone and goes out for a throw-in.

    After that frantic start it's all calmed down a bit. The fans, however, have not calmed down. They are making their voices heard.

    A sensational strike!

    LASK win a rare early corner and boy do they make it count.

    Sascha Horvath crosses straight to Florian Flecker unmarked on the edge of the box. The Austrian takes a touch, steadies himself, and smashes the ball into the far corner.
