Reds so grateful for slice of luck

Hearts 0 Liverpool 1

Andrew Webster’s 78th-minute own goal was enough to give the visitors a slender lead ahead of the return match at Anfield next week.

And there was further good news for Liverpool as manager Brendan Rodgers said he expects to discover in the next 24 hours whether Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin will choose Anfield over Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium as his preferred destination for a season-long loan move.
