Liverpool were denied a penalty early on despite Luis Perea appearing to foul Daniel Agger, and instead they went behind when Rodriguez volleyed in.

The Reds felt they were again denied a spot-kick when Perea seemed to handle.

They got their chance at the third time of asking and Gerrard smashed home after he was fouled by Mariano Pernia.

A victory for Liverpool or Atletico would have secured them a place in the knockout stages as PSV Eindhoven were beaten by Marseille in Group G’s other match.

And it looked as though the Spaniards were going to seal their progress, until Gerrard’s late, late intervention.
