Sevilla holds Liverpool to 3-3 draw

Sadio Mane headed home in between two Roberto Firmino strikes to put Liverpool three goals up within 30 minutes, but Sevilla came back from the dead after the break. 

Wissam Ben Yedder netted twice before Pizarro’s late equaliser, leaving Liverpool top with nine points, Sevilla second with eight and Spartak Moscow third with six, after it drew 1-1 with Maribor in the group’s other game. 

Liverpool, which won the Champions League in 2005 after coming from three goals down against AC Milan in the final, was given a taste of its own medicine at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan and must now avoid defeat against Spartak to qualify in its final group game on Dec 6. 

The German’s side tore into the host from the off with Firmino pouncing in the second minute after Georginio Wijnaldum flicked Philippe Coutinho’s corner into his path. 

Mane doubled the lead in the 22nd minute as Liverpool scored an almost identical goal to its first. Liverpool’s defensive frailties, however, was exposed as Eduardo Berizzo’s side completed a year unbeaten at home in all competitions, with two Alberto Moreno errors helping them on its way.
