Liverpool avoided a potential Europa League embarrassment against Unirea Urziceni in Romania as they came from behind to book their place in the last 16 with a 3-1 win.

Shaky defending from set-pieces in the first half saw them fall behind to Bruno Fernandes' header in the 19th minute and for a while they looked rattled.

However, Javier Mascherano from long-range, and Ryan Babel from close, turned things around before the interval before Steven Gerrard's 33rd European goal wrapped things up a 4-1 victory on aggregate.
