Cisse strike does trick for Reds

Anderlecht 0 Liverpool 1

The Frenchman netted with an impressive volley after 20 minutes for Rafael Benitez’s team, who created a string of glorious chances and were almost made to pay for their wastefulness as Anderlecht staged a brave second-half comeback.

It was Liverpool’s second away win in group G, but with Chelsea storming to victory over Real Betis, the Merseysiders have lost top spot.
