Liverpool hold a 2-1 lead at half time in tonight's Europa League opener against Young Boys in Bern, Switzerland.

Liverpool have a 2-1 lead at half time in tonight's Europa League opener against Young Boys in Bern, Switzerland.

The Reds went ahead in comical circumstances after only three minutes as an attempted clearance by Christoph Spycher saw the ball come off the face of teammate Juhani Ojala before going into the net.

Raul Bobadilla nearly grabbed an equaliser for Young Boys, but his effort was pushed away by Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones.

Oussama Assaidi then showed his inexperience when he shot wide instead of squaring for Daniel Pacheco.

Liverpool were made to pay six minutes before the break as Raphael Nuzzolo capitalised on some poor calamitous play from Jose Enrique before converting.

However, they regained the lead just two minutes later when Andre Wisdom headed in Nuri Sahin's cross.

There was still time for the woodwork to be rattled before the break as Alexander Farnerud's stinging long-range effort beat Jones but came back off the post.
