Football: Disastrous defending costs Liverpool in Sevilla thriller


(Reuters) - Liverpool displayed all the exciting forward play and calamitous defending that has been a hallmark of their inconsistent season in a thrilling 3-3 Champions League draw at Sevilla on Tuesday. Swashbuckling attacking play saw Juergen Klopp's side slice through the shell-shocked home defence three times in 30 minutes before the visitors crumbled under pressure in the second half. "It's obvious what we did, the real problem is we stopped playing football,” said Klopp. Liverpool had chances in the second half but every time Sevilla attacked they looked like scoring. Sevilla ended up dominating the game, with Pizarro's late equaliser demonstrating that unless Liverpool improve at the back adding to their five European Cup triumphs is a pipe dream.
