Liverpool v Union SG live - UEFA Europa League latest as Reds play first game since VAR storm

TNT Sports will broadcast every UEFA Europa League match from the group stage to the final live over the course of the 2023-24 season.

The streaming home for TNT Sports in the UK is discovery+, where fans can enjoy a subscription that includes TNT Sports, Eurosport and entertainment in one destination. You can also watch TNT Sports through BT, EE, Sky, and Virgin Media.

Ryan Gravenberch scored his first goal for Liverpool as the Reds laboured to a 2-0 victory over Royal Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Europa League.

The Dutchman scored from close range in the 44th minute after the visitors' goalkeeper spilled a Trent Alexander-Arnold shot.

Darwin Nunez had missed a glorious chance earlier, failing to hit the target from eight yards with the goal gaping, while Hakan Nilsson wasted a free header inside the six-yard box from Union's most promising attack.

Chances were harder to come by in the second half, with Luis Diaz hitting the post the closest Liverpool came to a second goal - but it would not have counted as he was offside - until Jota pounced on the break, with the visitors left exposed as they searched for an equaliser.

This was Liverpool's first game since Diaz had a goal incorrectly disallowed against Tottenham Hotspur, and all the fallout which has followed.

The win leaves Liverpool top of Group E with a perfect six points from two games.

Three English teams and one from Scotland have been in Europa League action today. It has been a mixed bag in terms of results and you can read all about it by following the link below.

"It was fine," says Michael Owen of Liverpool's performance on TNT Sports. That just about sums it up.

"It was dominant in the first half absolutely," Rachel Brown-Finnis adds. "They just weren't ruthless and sharp at the top end of the pitch."

Remember, discovery+ is the streaming home of TNT Sports, the only place to watch the UEFA Europa League live.

FT: Liverpool 2-0 Union SG. It was not overly impressive, but job done for Liverpool. Gravenberch's first Liverpool goal and a late Jota strike mean they win 2-0 and take charge of Group E.

A loose backpass is seized on by Amoura, but ALisson is out quickly to close the space and saves the Algerian's first-time effort.

Liverpool break from a Union corner and it is sloppy, but Amani accidently puts Jota through on goal and he slots under the goalkeeper to secure the win.

Can Union find an equaliser? Can they finally test Alisson even?

Alisson gathers a low cross after good work from Castro-Montes on the right.

Union's fans remain in fine voice, despite the scoreline.

Jones is the latest Liverpool player to try his luck from range and find it is out.

Sykes, who is English, comes on.

Szoboszlai has a go from downtown but cannot hit the target.

Rodriguez falls over, helped down by Quansah, as he waits for an Amoura cross. No penalty given.

Diaz takes down a crossfield pass on his chest, shoots across the goalkeeper and hits the post.

However, the offside flag goes up belatedly so it would not have counted.

Gravenberch, who as probably been Liverpool's best player, is replaced by Szoboszlai.

Sadiki and Rasmussen off for Amani and Vanhouttee.

And the ball flies well over from 35 yards.

It would be a stretch to say the visitors are threatening a goal, but as long as it is just 1-0 Liverpool cannot relax.

Liverpool have had eight. Gravenberch's goal still the difference.
