Riise blunder leaves Reds with work to do

Dirk Kuyt scored on the stroke of half-time to give Rafael Benitez's side a deserved lead, but missed chances allowed Chelsea to remain a threat.

In the fifth minute of injury time Riise attempted to head the ball clear but put it into his own net to give the visitors a vital away goal.

It now means that Liverpool will need to score at Stamford Bridge next Wednesday night if they are to claim a place in the final in Moscow.
