Toulouse v Liverpool LIVE – UEFA Europa League latest as Reds can reach knockout rounds with win

TOULOUSE STUN LIVERPOOL ON DRAMATIC NIGHT

Liverpool suffered just their second defeat of the season in Toulouse, dramatically losing 3-2 after a stoppage-time equalizer was overturned by a VAR review.

Toulouse were in the French second tier just two seasons ago, and two weeks ago thrashed 5-1 at Anfield, yet led when a terrible Kostas Tsimikas error put Aron Donnum through on goal.

Thijs Dallinga doubled the lead with a fine finish as Toulouse started the second half brilliantly, and even a bizarre own goal did not seem to halt their momentum as substitute Frank Magri scored two minutes later to make it 3-1.

Diogo Jota pulled an 89th-minute goal back for Liverpool to set up a nervy finish, and they thought they had leveled the score when Jarell Quansah scored what would have been his maiden Reds goal at the end of a goalmouth scramble in the seventh added minute .

Yet a belated VAR review ruled it out three minutes and two Toulouse yellow cards later, with an Alexis Mac Allister handball spotted in the extended build-up.

Liverpool are still top of Europa League Group E, on nine points, but Toulouse are just two behind in second place and have a three-point cushion over third-placed Union Saint-Gilloise, who lost to LASK.
