It was an eight goal thriller between the young players of Liverpool and Young Boys of Switzerland in the Europa League last night.

 

Liverpool beat the Swiss side 5-3.

 

Brendan Rodgers risk of leaving his established players at home paid off.

 

It was the first time Liverpool scored five away goals in this competition since the 2001 final victory over Alavés.

 

Elsewhere in the Europa League, Newcastle were held to a goalless draw by Maritimo in  Madeira.
