Rubin Kazan 0-1 Liverpool: Ibe's first goal proves decisive

Liverpool boosted its chances of Europa League progression with an away win against Rubin Kazan sealed courtesy of Jordon Ibe.

Jordon Ibe scored his first goal for Liverpool to give Jurgen Klopp's men a 1-0 win at Rubin Kazan that significantly boosts hopes of reaching the Europa League knockout stages.

The visitors were completely dominant in Russia and saw chances go begging, including James Milner hitting the woodwork, meaning winger Ibe's strike early in the second half proved decisive.

The victory is Liverpool's first in the competition this season after three consecutive 1-1 draws, but there is still work to do to reach the last 32, although a win over Bordeaux in the club's next game at Anfield later this month will seal progression after the French side drew 1-1 with Sion in Group B's other game on Thursday.
