Liverpool came from behind to beat PSV Eindhoven and qualify for the Champions League last 16 as winners of Group D.

PSV took the lead when Danko Lazovic poked in from close range after Javier Mascherano failed to clear a corner.

Ryan Babel equalised with a glancing header from Lucas Leiva’s cross and Albert Riera put them ahead with a 25-yard drive that found the top corner.

PSV’s Dirk Marcellis hit a post, before David Ngog latched on to Robbie Keane’s pass and slotted in to seal the win.

Liverpool’s victory was reward for a much-improved performance after the interval.

It also gave manager Rafael Benitez his wish to claim top spot in the group, which means Liverpool will play the second leg of their last 16 match at Anfield.

Benitez had made clear before the match that it was important to achieve that, but he still sent out a team with seven changes from Saturday’s win against Blackburn.
