Aron Donnum scores for Toulouse v Liverpool

Liverpool suffered a setback in their bid to reach the Europa League knockout stage as they lost 3-2 in Toulouse.

Aron Donnum opened the scoring after dispossessing Kostas Tsimikas in a dangerous area, and Thijs Dallinga doubled the Toulouse lead.

Liverpool pulled one back through a bizarre own goal from Cristian Casseres Jr, but Frank Magri restored the French side's two-goal advantage.

Diogo Jota scored for Liverpool with two minutes left but it was too late.

Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai all came off the bench at half-time as Liverpool chased the game, but ultimately it was to no avail.

The Reds thought they had equalised in the seventh minute of added time, however Jarell Quansah's goal was ruled out by the video assistant referee due to a controversial handball decision.
