6 ' Liverpool have been very impressive in
this starting few minutes . Zipping the ball
about across the pitch, whilst Sterling and
Coutinho look very lively . Manquillo and
Johnson both pushing high up the pitch.
Positive signs.
5 ' Wonderful through ball from Coutinho
after a magnificent turn. He finds Sterling
in the box who shoots first - time, but
Langerak saves with ease. Few seconds
after , Henderson tries an ambitious chip
but the 25 -year -old goalkeeper catches.
4 ' The ball falls to Kirch on the edge of
the area , and he shoots but his effort is
tame and Mignolet gathers .

9 ' GOAL ! 1- 0 Liverpool. That 's wonderful
stuff .
9 ' Both teams playing the ball about
nicely . Lovren has looked commanding in
his opening few minutes , playing the ball
about with confidence and marshalling
the back -line .
7 ' Gerrard 's poor tackle gives away a
free -kick near the half- way line, but a sea
of red bodies immediately press the
Dortmund defence and Coutinho forces
Sokratis into putting it out for a throw -
in .

5 ' Wonderful through ball from Coutinho

13 ' Magnificent. Langerak comes out but
is left stranded and Gerrard 's delivery
falls to the unmarked Lovren who powers
a header home . The same end in which he
scored for Southampton last season. What
a start for Rodgers ' Reds.
12 ' GOAL! Liverpool 2 -0 .
12 ' Sterling pushes into the box and wins
a corner. Gerrard walks over to take it .
11 ' Liverpool are good value for their
early lead . They 've been the better team
so far , and that goals shows it . The
visitors posing problems though, as
Piszczek nearly gets onto a long ball .
10 ' That is an absolutely superb goal . A
long ball from Lovren into the centre of
the park is flicked on by Coutinho 's
outside of the foot and Sturridge runs
onto it before finishing neatly past
Langerak with an outside of the foot left
shot . Simply sublime .
9 ' GOAL ! 1- 0 Liverpool. That 's wonderful
stuff .

Loveren made his debut marshalling Liverpool's defense and scoring now. Lambert who is a striker hasn't score. This is a big test for liverpool in Europe.

ool attacking with real verve,
Manquillo manages a cross to Sterling at
the back post . He retrieves the ball after a
defensive header and dinks it back to the
incoming Coutinho on the edge of the
area , but his connection is poor and the
shot bends wide of the right post .
20 ' And Lovren 's header for the
second:
20 ' Here is Sturridge 's opening
goal :
19 ' There were shouts for handball there,
but they were rightly waved away. From
a throw -in , Kirch tries an effort from
distance but it flies over Mignolet 's
crossbar .
18 ' Great defending by the skipper.
Mkhitaryan finds the ball just outside the
box , but the 33 -year - old slides in to
dispossess him.
17 ' Dangerous attack from the visitors,
but the Reds counter and Gerrard
connects to a Sterling pass before trying
to feed Sturridge on the last shoulder but
the forward is offside

23 ' This really is impressive from front to
back . Lovren 's well -timed tackle earns a
rousing applause from the Anfield
faithful .
22 ' Absolutely sensational play from
Coutinho again. He weaves through a
number of yellow shirts with superb skill
before curling a wonderful through ball
for Sterling , but his effort is blocked by
Piszczek and nothing comes of the corner.
Tremendous footwork from the Brazilian
playmaker .
21 ' Liverpool attacking with real verve,
Manquillo manages a cross to Sterling at
the back post . He retrieves the ball after a
defensive header and dinks it back to the
incoming Coutinho on the edge of the
area , but his connection is poor and the
shot bends wide of the right post .

31 ' Manquillo is another who has
impressed. He 's slotted seamlessly into
that right-back slot and marauded back
and forth down that flank. Promising stuff
from the Spaniard .
30 ' More vivid attacking. Sturridge tries
to set up one of Coutinho or Sterling in
the box , but his cross is overhit and
neither can get to it .
30 ' Good play from the visitors.
Aubameyang finsd Mkhitaryan from the
by -line , but the Armenian' s volley is
blocked and rebounds back off him for a
goal -kick .
29 ' Good ball from Kirch through to
Aubameyang , but Skrtel covers and
stretches well to put it out. Sterling then
does well to shrug Piszczek off the ball
and win a throw . Very strong for a
diminutive winger.
28 ' Sturridge too , now . He tries a clever
flick with the back of his heel to get past
Piszczek, but it deflects off the defender
and out for a throw .
27 ' Jojic tries an effort outside of the box,
but Skrtel blocks it . The midfielder
delivers in the subsequent corner but it is
headed away from danger.
26 ' Dortmund not exactly full strength but
the Reds have been excellent

Maquillo anf Loveren marshalling the defense of Liverpool.. Good buy .. I am loving this pairing.

HT : Liverpool 2- 0 Borussia Dortmund.
45 ' Great hit from the skipper . He dips it
up and over the wall and it seems
destined for the top corner, but Langerak
manages to reach it . From the corner,
Lovren heads it back into the area but no-
one can get to it . That 's all for now.
44 ' This is sensational . Henderson 's inch -
perfect ball finds Sturridge who moves
through a few defenders before Sokratis
hauls him down for a free- kick. 25 yards
and in central range , as Gerrard and
Henderson weigh it up.
43 ' Another corner for BVB, which is
again seen out of danger. Mkhitaryan
picks up the pieces and fires in a ball to
Kehl but it has too much pace on it and
the midfielder can't control.
41 ' Dortmund corner, but Gerrard is at
the near post to head away . More
wonderful play by Sturridge, who dances
past Schmelzer with absolute ease but his
ball in- field to Coutinho is slightly overhit
and the Brazilian can't get onto the end of
it .
40 ' Approaching the end of the first -half
now , with the opposing fans in good voice
despite their 2 - 0 deficit . On the pitch,
Mkhitaryan bursts forward but Schmelzer
is dispossessed superbly by Manquillo who
slides the ball into touch . The Armenian
certainly probing here.

Bro, you're good. Nice reporting!

46 ' Almost 3 - 0 ! Sterling powers down the
flank , before firing a teasing ball across
the six -yard box. It looks set to fall for
Sturridge , until Ginter 's last-ditch tackle
puts it out of play.
46 ' We 're back . One change - Lucas Leiva
comes on for Emre Can.

49 ' More glorious play , trademark
hollywood 70 -yard pass from Gerrard and
some beautiful one- touch passing sets up
Sterling , but his shot is poor .
48 ' Ginter ' s ball is poor and Sterling
latches onto it before finding Coutinho in
the box who moves it out of his feet and
plays it through Langerak 's legs to
increase the home side's lead . Great play
to capitalise on poor defending .
48 ' GOAL! Liverpool 3 -0 .
47 ' Changes for Dortmund too . Bender
and Hoffman on.

hahahahabbabaB.. borussia Dortmund don enter armed robber bus... lovren ba baf defender from Southampton. Good buy for liverpool. He Is marshalling Liverpool defense acting as if he has been playing for Liverpool for years. R I P German giant.

54 ' Lucas gives away a free -kick , but it
appears he actually won the ball first
before taking down Mkhitaryan in the
follow through . Looked a good tackle , but
the free -kick from Schmelzer is well
overhit and Bender can' t connect . BVB
struggling here .
53 ' Mkhitaryan takes on a few Red shirts
on the edge of the 18- yard box , before
finding space to shoot but his shot is high
and over . Klopp 's side yet to really test
Mignolet .
52 ' Sterling links up with Coutinho in the
edge before the Brazilian spins and fires
an early effort after a brilliant attack , but
his shot is straight at the keeper.
50 ' The Reds very much on the front foot.
Lots of confidence in their performance
here . Henderson tries to edge past Ginter
outside of the box , but the young German
does well to see it out of play .
49 ' More glorious play , trademark
hollywood 70 -yard pass from Gerrard and
some beautiful one- touch passing sets up
Sterling , but his shot is poor

65 ' Whilst this is tremendous, it 's notable
that the visitors have been pretty poor .
With the likes of Hummels and Gundogan,
you can't help feel but think that it
wouldn 't be quite as emphatic as 4 -0 .
64 ' Dortmund set- piece is whipped in but
Sokratis can't connect before Coutinho.
63 ' Rash tackle from Lucas , as he goes
through the back of Hoffman. Another
sub, as Ji Dong Won comes on for
Mkhitaryan .
62 ' Johnson is replaced by Jose Enrique
amidst all the madness .
61 ' Well , well , well . Just how do you
describe that? The one- touch combination
play in the centre of the park is scarcely
believable , until Coutinho 's ball towards
Sturridge is overhit. The forward makes
up for it by retrieving possession, beating
Schmelzer and flicking it into towards
Henderson who slots home and celebrates
emphatically. The ball did look to go out
of play however , and the Reds have been
fortunate with that decision.
61 ' GOAL! 4 - 0 Liverpool.
60 ' An hour in and every minute so far
has been exciting and entertaining . If they
can carry this into the Premier League,
then they could easily be contenders .
59 ' Gerrard 's corner is well delivered but
Langerak leaps to pluck it out of the air .
58 ' Grosskreutz on . He was looking
forward to visiting Anfield , but he
probably wasn 't expecting to come on at
this score line.
56 ' Another poor corner from the visitors,
as Gerrard clears at the near post with a
header . They enjoy a good spell of
possession , until Sterling wins the ball
brilliantly and feeds Sturridge . After some
more superb link -up , Manquillo tries to
cut back in the box before a yellow shirt
clears . The beautiful play continues , with
Gerrard ' s neat first -time pass setting up
Johnson but his shot is blocked by
Piszczek. It ' s difficult to describe just how
easy on the eye this is.
54 ' Lucas gives away a free -kick , but it
appears he actually won the ball first
before taking down Mkhitaryan in the
follow through . Looked a good tackle , but
the free -kick from Schmelzer is well
overhit and Bender can' t connect . BVB
struggling here .
53 ' Mkhitaryan takes on a few Red shirts
on the edge of the 18- yard box , before

49 ' More glorious play , trademark

71 ' Liverpool's fourth through
Henderson :
70 ' Liverpool's third through
Coutinho :
69 ' Sterling does well, again , to beat his
man down the flank before firing a ball
into the box. The youngster looks prepared
for a really big season.
67 ' Sturridge does well to win a corner,
and Sterling does outstandingly well to
weave his way into the box until
overrunning it .
66 ' Sokratis heads towards the top corner
from a corner, but Sterling is on hand to
nod away when the Germans almost had
a consolation.
65 ' Whilst this is tremendous, it 's notable
that the visitors have been pretty poor .
With the likes of Hummels and Gundogan,
you can't help feel but think that it
wouldn 't be quite as emphatic as 4 -0 .
64 ' Dortmund set- piece is whipped in but
Sokratis can't connect before Coutinho.
63 ' Rash tackle from Lucas , as he goes
through the back of Hoffman. Another
sub, as Ji Dong Won comes on for
Mkhitaryan .
62 ' Johnson is replaced by Jose Enrique
amidst all the madness .

76 ' Lull in proceedings here , as both sides
look to see it out. Smart passing from
both sides still, and Skrtel does well to get
himself out of danger by winning a
throw .
75 ' Lambert comes on for Sturridge , who
is another one who has been excellent.
Another standing ovation for the striker.
74 ' Immobile working hard to make
something happen, but the Liverpool
back - line remains stubborn . Dortmund
just can' t break through , being restricted
to efforts from range . The ex- Torino
forward shoots from 25- yards and it
deflects off Lovren and almost loops in for
a goal, but fortunately goes over the bar.
72 ' Tempo cooling with all the substitutes.
Coutinho makes way and earns a standing
ovation after his incredible performance .
Jordon Ibe comes on in his place. Rickie
Lambert looking ready to come on too .
