Marseille v Liverpool live: Score and latest updates from crunch Champions League tie

DISALOWED GOAL! Liverpool thought they were ahead, but Ekitike is offside.

It’s was a lovely move too, with a little counter seeing Salah thread in a pass to Szoboszlai on the wing, before the Hungarian fizzed in a low cross that Ekitike tapped home.

Replays show he was quite far off, though it was a smart run from the youngster.

The hosts are just trying to keep possession to take the sting out of Liverpool’s attacking.

The Reds are happy to press high but this Marseille side are proving handy with the ball at their feet so far, even if it hasn’t clicked in attack yet.

CLOSE! Inches away from an opener in Marseille!

It’s all good work from Alexis Mac Allister, who is in the middle of some pinball on the edge of the Marseille area before he wriggles free and gets into the box, eventually firing a low effort just wide.

Better from Liverpool, as Ekitike’s header back across goal troubles the Marseille defence before Rulli clears against Medina for a Reds corner.

Salah’s ball in is cleared but the visitors come again, with Ekitike fizzing in a cross that has just a little too much on it for Salah to control.

Almost an opening for the visitors as Mac Allister finds Ekitike in the box, but the chances goes begging after the Argentine ends up losing it.

The visitors do well to prevent the counter though.

Both sides have settled in possession now, though it’s Marseille seeing more of the ball. They’ve already found space in between the lines on a number of occasions too.

However, Ekitike does brilliantly to hold up play and win a free-kick in his own half.

More possession for the hosts, with Greenwood fizzing in a cross that is cleared before Gravenberch fouls Murillo.

Marseille are enjoying plenty of the ball and they almost fashion a chance as Pavard is close to getting on the end of a teasing ball into the box, which Alisson did well to pounce on.

Clever goalkeeping from Alisson as he’s out of his area quickly to sweep away danger.

The hosts enjoy their first period of sustained possession, ending as Pavard is flagged offside as the visitors hold a great defensive line.

Kerkez gets away down the left to fire in a cross. It evades his teammates but Frimpong picks it up and the visitors eventually win a corner.

Salah swings in the set-piece and Gomez rises to head it, but his effort goes wide. The referee had given a free-kick to the hosts anyway.

An early foray forward for the visitors, with Gravenberch sliding a pass into the path of Wirtz, who has an early shot blocked.
