Liverpool Collapse, Lose 3-Goal Lead in Champions League Draw vs. Sevilla

Guido Pizarro netted in stoppage time as Liverpool collapsed from 3-0 ahead to draw 3-3 with Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium on Tuesday in Group E of the UEFA Champions League.

The Reds were 3-0 up inside half an hour after almost identical goals from corners for Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane and another from the Brazilian at the end of a rapid break.

Sevilla then scored twice through Wissam Ben Yedder soon after the break to threaten a miraculous turnaround.

Liverpool regrouped and looked to be heading for the win that would put them into the knockout rounds, but Pizarro netted with minutes remaining in the scramble from a corner to earn Sevilla an unlikely point.
