Virgil van Dijk replaces Ibrahima Konate, who is able to walk off at least. That's two of Liverpool's back four replaced now.

A message on X (formerly Twitter) from the official Brighton account says: "We are aware of the bottles, coins and lighters being thrown by home supporters into the away end. We have reported to Uefa and Italian Police and requested immediate action be taken."

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is getting treatment. Not been an ideal four minutes for the Reds.

It's almost 3-2. Lukas Haraslín is found in loads of space in the box and forces a save from Caoimhin Kelleher.

The goal stands. That was Conor Bradley's first touch.

And we're back under way at the Stadio Olimpico. Can Brighton get something to take back to England?

Sparta Prague 1-3 Liverpool

They're checking this. Not sure what the beef is on first viewing.

Ansu Fati, on loan from Barcelona, is going to be coming on for Brighton at the start of the second half, with Julio Enciso the man coming off.

Under way in Letna. Surely there's to be no comeback.

Darwin Nunez has been directly involved in 12 goals in 12 games for Liverpool in 2024 (eight goals, four assists); the joint-most of any Premier League player across all competitions since the turn of the year (level with Kevin de Bruyne).

Nunez is literally rubbing his hands as he comes out for the second half.

Villa almost find Ollie Watkins with a long ball but he's guarded well by an Ajax defender.

The second half is under way at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Villa bring on Matty Cash at the break for Pau Torres.

Liverpool have scored 10 first-half goals in seven games, only Bayer Leverkusen (11) have scored more in the 2023-24 Europa League.

Sparta have conceded nine first-half goals in nine games, only Häacken (10) have conceded more.

I'm not sure if it is a worldie [for Liverpool's third goal] but it's not far off it. If the game wasn't finished before then, it is now. Jurgen and Liverpool fans, you can relax.

Roma go in with a two-goal advantage at the break. Paulo Dybala broke the Brighton offside trap to put the hosts ahead with the goal given after a VAR check, before Romelu Lukaku pounced on Lewis Dunk's error to make it 2-0.

Brighton have caused problems through the impressive Simon Adingra and hit the post with Mile Svilar also making good saves. But it is all to do for Roberto de Zerbi's side, who will be fearing being out of this tie before it gets back to the Amex.

Liverpool are in complete control at the break thanks to three goals from South America.

Everything good for Brighton is coming down their left from the pace and trickery of Simon Adingra.

His cross is met by Danny Welbeck's header but Mile Svilar does excellently to acrobatically tip it over the top.
