58. Liverpool take the lead against the run of play.

Neco Williams crosses in with his left foot.

Onana watches the ball sail over his head, thinking it's going out for a goal kick, but Curtis Jones is there at the back post to delicately guide an effort into the empty goal!

That's a poor error from Onana.

GOOOOAAAALLLL!
LIVERPOOL TAKE THE LEAD!

Curtis Jones can't play a simple five yard pass to Robertson, instead passing the ball out for a throw in.

52. Mane teases a ball into the box, that runs through to Neco Williams at the back post.

As it comes to the right back though, Mo Salah gets in the way of him, meaning Williams' effort is scuffed and straight at Onana.

50. CLOSE!
Ajax work the free kick short to Neres, who fires a dangerous ball into the box.

It's onto the head of Klaasen, who should score, but directs his header just wide of the goal.
