Rafa Benitez was reeling from Liverpool's worst run of results in 22 years and another injury setback for Steven Gerrard after a Champions League calamity at Anfield. Liverpool are facing elimination at the group stage after an injury-time winner from Lyon substitute Cesar Delgado left them floundering behind the French side and Fiorentina. Arsenal also conceded a goal in added time as they drew 1-1 with AZ Alkmaar in Holland. Benitez's gamble over Gerrard's fitness backfired and he was booed by Liverpool fans after substituting in-form Yossi Benayoun, who put Liverpool ahead in the 2-1 defeat.
