Ludogorets 2 - 2 Liverpool

Liverpool were left to rue an early mistake by goalkeeper Simon Mignolet as they were held to a 2 - 2 draw by Ludogorets in Bulgaria.

The Reds bounced back from conceding after just three minutes following that mistake by their keeper, to take the lead after goals from Rickie Lambert and Jordan Henderson.

Dani Abalo was the beneficiary as Liverpool fell 1 - 0 down within 3 minutes of play.

Lambert's equaliser came via his head five minutes later, before Raheem Sterling set up Henderson on the break before half-time.

But the Bulgarian side fought back to snatch a draw with an 88th minute equaliser from Georgi Terziev at a set piece.

The result leaves Liverpool in third place in Group B. But they are still two points behind second-placed Basel, who are set to visit Anfield in a fortnight's time.

 

Arsenal 2 - 0 Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal have secured their place in the Champions League knock-out stages once again.

The Gunners produced a much improved showing at the Emirates to beat Borussia Dortmund 2 - 0, easing some of the pressure on Arsene Wenger.

Goals in either half from Yaya Sanogo and Alexis Sanchez secured all three points and means that Arsenal are guaranteed a place in the knock-out stages, and also gives them a chance to overtake Dortmund at the top of the table in two weeks time.

The German side are two points clear of the Gunners at the top of Group D.
