Liverpool vs Union Saint-Gilloise LIVE: Europa League result and final score as Diogo Jota goal seals win

78 mins: Szoboszlai is on and it’s the goalscorer who makes way: a good night for Ryan Gravenberch in his young Liverpool career.

75 mins: Union’s Alessio Castro-Montes takes an optimistic blast from distance and puts it into the stands. The Belgian leaders have lacked just a touch of quality so far tonight. Dominik Szoboszlai is about to come on - looks like Jurgen Klopp wants a final push of energy to get his side over the line here.

71 mins: That Union chance has unsettled Liverpool slightly and the past five minute spell has been a scrappy one from both teams. Jarell Quansah has been asked to do some real defending tonight and has stood up the task well - another assured display so far from the 20-year-old centre-back.

65 mins: Liverpool have been completely on top since half time but Union offer a little reminder of their threat as Mohamed Amoura flies forward. His cross is deflected behind by Konate. but that could have looped in. Liverpool’s lead remains a slender one.

61 mins: SAVE! If the first was a gift, Gravenberch goes close to a spectacular second for Liverpool! The midfielder aims for the top corner with a curling shot from the left edge of the area, but Moris produces an excellent stop as he leaps back to keep it out.

Alexander-Arnold is indeed replaced. His final intervention was to deny a Union counter-attack. That was a good outing for the right back.

60 mins: Joe Gomez is getting ready on the Liverpool bench - which is perhaps a sign that the plan was to only give Trent Alexander-Arnold an hour tonight.

57 mins: Liverpool are doing well to keep the pressure up. The ball is fed wide to Curtis Jones and his deflected shot loops up and down, landing on the roof of the net. Union are able to clear following a succession of corners after Konate gives a foul away.

51 mins: SAVE! Good stop this from Moris, who denies Jota’s header with a flying leap. Mac Allister picked out a quality cross to find Jota, whose header was too central and left Moris with a chance.

48 mins: CLOSE! Alisson gets away with this! The Liverpool goalkeeper spills a corner from the left but gets away with it as Quansah is on hand to hack away. Alisson is much more like himself as he comes out to claim the next corner.

46 mins: We are now back underway at Anfield. Can Liverpool increase their lead? Nunez and Salah will be disappointed not to have scored tonight after taking their place on the bench.
