Liverpool’s wait for a first Champions League win of the season has been prolonged as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Spartak Moscow.
It was the hosts who took the lead in Russia through a free kick from Fernando, but they were on the back foot for the vast majority of the match as Liverpool were once again unable to make the most of their possession and chances.
Philippe Coutinho quickly levelled things up for the visitors, but they were unable to add a second as they dropped two more points in Group E having also been held to a draw on matchday one against Sevilla.
The result leaves Liverpool still second in the group and level on points with Spartak, but they now trail leaders Sevilla by two points after the Spanish outfit cruised to a 3-0 victory over Maribor in the group’s other game.
The result means that Liverpool’s wait for a win in the Champions League proper extends to a club-record seven matches ahead of their meeting with Maribor on matchday three.
