Football: Fulham and Liverpool in action in the Europa League

A pensive looking Roy Hodgson before kick-off. He has every reason to look worried with his team 3-1 down from the first leg, it will take a astonishing performance from his Fulham team to turn this tie around Photograph: Phil Cole/Getty Images Photograph: Phil Cole/guardian.co.uk It's the worst possible start for Hodgson and his men as in the second minute a defensive mix up means the ball ends up at the feet of David Trezeguet who from 10 yards out, stokes the ball across the goal and into the net at the far post Photograph: Phil Cole/Getty Images Photograph: Phil Cole/guardian.co.uk The Juventus fans get their scarves out as they celebrate Trezeguet's goal. With the aggregate score at 4-1 and an away goal in the bag, they must think they are home and dry and in the quarter finals...

Photograph: Joe Giddens/Empics Sport Photograph: Joe Giddens/guardian.co.uk Just after half-time Damien Duff crosses the ball and the ball hits the arm of Diego, who is two yards from Duff and the referee blows his whistle and points to the spot. It's a very harsh decision on Juve but the referee's decision is final, if sometimes a bit wrong. Gera steps up and hits a good penalty sending the ball low into the left corner and also the keeper the wrong way. It's 3-1 on the night and 4-4 on aggregate, so there's all to play for Photograph: Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Glyn Kirk/guardian.co.uk Juventus manager Alberto Zaccheroni is now a worried man Photograph: Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Glyn Kirk/guardian.co.uk With seven minutes to go and extra time beckoning Clint Dempsey takes things into his own hands and pulls off an audacious chip from the edge of the area which lofts over Chimenti and into the far corner to make it 5-4 on aggregate Photograph: Phil Cole/Getty Images Photograph: Phil Cole/guardian.co.uk The final few minutes were a nail biting time for the Fulham faithful as a Juve goal would put them through, but fortunately Fulham held firm and the fans were able to celebrate at the final whistle. It was an amazing result and performance which will surely go down in Fulham folklore Photograph: Joe Giddens/Empics Sport Photograph: Joe Giddens/guardian.co.uk A packed house at Anfield and the Liverpool fans must be hoping that the team put in a performance at Anfield like those of the Liverpool side of old on a European night rather than the sort of performance that the current side put in at Lille Photograph: Nick Wilkinson/EPA Photograph: Nick Wilkinson/guardian.co.uk Diego Maradona is in the stands perhaps to keep an eye on the Argentinian players in the Liverpool side Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images Lucas Leiva gets bundled over whilst on a barnstorming run into the Lille box and the referee decisively points to the spot Photograph: John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images Steven Gerrard sends the keeper the wrong way to give Liverpool the lead and level the aggregate score Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images Glen Johnson climbs high in order to chest the ball and bring it under control Photograph: Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images Lille's Eden Hazard ignores Agger's lacklustre sliding tackle as he bursts through the Liverpool defence and finds himself one-on-one with Reina... Photograph: Nigel Roddis/Reuters ...but the Liverpool keeper stood up well to block the youngster's chip. It was Lille's first real chance of the match and a warning to Liverpool to be on their guard Photograph: Stephen Pond/Empics Sport Photograph: Stephen Pond/guardian.co.uk Four minutes into the second half and Torres puts Liverpool ahead on aggregate. The ball is punted forward down the left in a quite ungraceful style and Rami misjudges both the path of the ball and his jump so the ball bounces over him and straight into the path of Torres, who gratefully gathers the ball before tearing into the Lille penalty area and executes a deft chip over the advancing Landreau and into the empty net Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images Photograph: Carl Recine/guardian.co.uk Although Liverpool are in the driving seat following Torres' goal, the Anfield faithful have their nerves tested in the remaining forty minutes as Lille put together a few neat attacking moves only for poor finishing to let them down. The Kop and probably Benitez breathe a collective sigh of relief in the last minute when Torres poaches a goal from 7 yards out after Landreau spills a Stevie G 20 yard special. A relieved Liverpool win the tie 3-1 on aggregate and are through to the quarter finals Photograph: John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images Photograph: John Powell/guardian.co.uk
