Liverpool 1-1 Sion: Reds rue failure to convert

For the second European game in succession the Reds could not take advantage of their overwhelming dominance, this time kept at bay by goalkeeper Andrejs Vanins

Liverpool were again unable to convert pressure into goals at Anfield as Brendan Rodgers’ men were held to a draw with Sion in their second match in Europa League Group B.

Adam Lallana gave the English side the perfect start at Anfield, turning home Divock Origi's cross after four minutes for his second goal in as many matches in Europe this term.

However, an unlikely equaliser from Ebenezer Assifuah after 16 minutes allowed the Swiss visitors – who had lost 6-3 on their last visit to the venue - to pick up a point that leaves them top of Group B.

Liverpool huffed and puffed in the closing stages but Brendan Rodgers' side, without the services of watching duo Christian Benteke and Daniel Sturridge ahead of Sunday's Merseyside derby against Everton, were wasteful in front of goal.
