90'
The fourth official on the touchline indicates that a minimum of three minutes is being added on here at Anfield. Bordeaux are pushing more numbers forward now in search of a late equaliser. Will there be time for one last twist in the tale?

Sagnol makes his third and final change for Bordeaux this evening as he takes off Plasil, who picked his passes well tonight, and replaces him with Ounas in the latter stages of normal time here at Anfield.

78'
The clock continues to tick down here at Anfield and Liverpool are the side who are going through to the knockout stages as things stand. Bordeaux need to win tonight to keep their hopes of reaching the round of 32 alive but they're on the back foot at the moment.
76'
N. Maurice-Belay enters the game and replaces Jussiê.
Sagnol makes his second change of the game for Bordeaux this evening as he brings off Jussie, who was bright in the first half but was quiet after the break, and replaces him with Maurice-Belay in a straight swap up front.
The game continues to peter out at the moment as neither side looks like they are capable of scoring a goal. Both teams are having their share of the ball but aren't committing too many numbers forward in attack.

72'

E. Can enters the game and replaces J. Allen.

Klopp makes his first change of the game for Liverpool tonight as he brings on Can in place of Allen, who played well when pressing and breaking up play in the middle of the park, just after the hour mark.
66'

62'

Lucas smells the danger in front of him as Plasil looks to pick out a pass in the final third, but the Liverpool midfielder mistimes his challenge and receives a caution for bringing down the Bordeaux man.

58'

WASTE! Ibe gets in behind Yambere inside Bordeaux's box but with Benteke alongside him, he decides to go alone instead but drives his effort too close to Carrasso who makes a superb save with his feet.
54'
SAVE! Liverpool break forward minutes after the disappointment of a having a third goal chalked off as Allen picks up the ball just outside the Bordeaux box, and forces a great save from Carrasso between the sticks. The hosts are in control at the moment.

42'
Toure makes a good clearance inside his own half and hands Bordeaux a corner. Plasil steps up and bends in a wicked, curling ball towards the near post but Benteke heads away the danger for Liverpool. The hosts are breaking forward in numbers now.

38'
Penalty goal scored by J. Milner for Liverpool!
GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLL!! It's 1-1! Milner makes no mistake from the spot as he blasts the ball past Carrasso to level the tie. Sane holds his head in his hands after making the poor decision to pull Benteke down inside the box, giving the referee no choice but to award a penalty.
37'
L. Sané gets yellow.
Sane becomes the first man to get his name taken by the referee this evening as he fouls Benteke inside the area. As the ball comes in, the Belgian striker appears to be heading nowhere near it so why the Bordeaux skipper feels the need to touch him remains to be seen.

35'

29'
NO GOAL! Ibe steams down the left past Poko and threads through a delightful pass to Benteke, but as the powerful forward sticks the ball in the back of the net, the official on the far side of the pitch raises his flag for offside. Unlucky.
27'

25'
CHANCE! Ibe cuts infield past both Sane and Plasil and curls in a powerful cross from the left towards the box, which just bypasses both Benteke and Milner with Carrasso rooted to his spot. Excellent wing play.

Poko surges forward down the right but as he knocks the ball past Moreno, the Spaniard makes a good recovery by getting his body in the way to allow possession to trickle out for a goal-kick. Bordeaux have made a decent start to this match, though Liverpool have looked the brighter.
15'
Contento looks to get forward down the left-hand side for Bordeaux but as he works an angle to try and get a cross in, Milner tracks him well and clears the ball out for a throw-in with a good tackle.
13'
CHANCE! Mignolet makes a hash of his attempted clearance as heads the ball softly into the path of Chantome deep inside his own half, but Toure spares his blushes as he makes a hugely important block to deny the Bordeaux midfielder from making it 0-1.
11'
Milner collects the ball down the right-hand side and bends in a cracking, lofted cross over the top of both Contento and Yambere towards Benteke, but the official on that side of the pitch denies the Liverpool striker in his tracks with the offside flag.

Liverpool get us under way here at Anfield. The man in charge of the cards for tonight's affair is Alon Yefet from Israel.
Good evening and welcome to our LIVE text commentary on tonight's UEFA Europa League clash between Liverpool and Bordeaux from Anfield. Kick off is at 8:05pm GMT.
Rubin Kazan's win over Sion earlier today has added a bit more spice to tonight's Group B encounter on Merseyside, with the Russians now just a point behind Liverpool. The Reds can seal their entry into the round of 32 with victory this evening but a draw would keep Rubin's hopes of qualifying alive.
Both sets of players are stripped and raring to go as they leave the tunnel and enter onto the field here at Anfield. We are just moments away from seeing the action start to unfold.
For Bordeaux, on the other hand, it is now or never for them tonight. The French outfit have to win in order to stand a chance of qualifying for the Europa League knockout stages. Willy Sagnol's men are three points behind Liverpool at the moment and a draw wouldn't be enough to keep them in the mix to get out of the group.
TEAM NEWS: Jurgen Klopp has made four changes to the side which started Liverpool's last match against Manchester City in the Premier League. Kolo Toure, Joe Allen, Jordon Ibe and Christian Benteke all get the chance to impress from the get-go this evening. Daniel Sturridge is absent from the squad with a foot injury.
TEAM NEWS: Sagnol has made four alterations to the team which started Bordeaux's 2-2 draw with Rennes in their last outing. Andre Biyogo Poko, Jussie, Jaroslav Plasil and Diego Rolan all come into the first eleven for tonight's encounter.
HALF TIME: LIVERPOOL 2-1 BORDEAUX
The referee calls time on what was an action-packed, mistake-laden opening 45 minutes here at Anfield. Benteke has the sides separated at the moment after finding the back of the net right at the end of the first half.
Saivet gave Bordeaux the lead after Mignolet gave away a free-kick for holding onto the ball for 20 seconds from a goal-kick. But the French side shot themselves in the foot minutes later after Sane gave away a penalty for pulling down Benteke inside the box, which Milner converted.
And in added time in the opening half, Benteke made the most of Clyne's poor cross by taking a superb first touch past Yambere before smashing a lovely finish past Carrasso to put Liverpool in front for the first time this evening.
FULL TIME: LIVERPOOL 2-1 BORDEAUX
That's all from us here at Anfield and it has been a great pleasure talking you through all of tonight's action. We hope you can join us again very soon. Take care!
Liverpool qualify for the Europa League knockout stages with a 2-1 win over Bordeaux at Anfield. Milner and Benteke score first-half goals to cancel out Saivet's earlier strike from a Mignolet mistake. The French side are heading out of the competition.
