Bordeaux 1-1 Liverpool: Lallana returns with a goal as Rodgers's men held in France

Adam Lallana marked his return to first-team action with Liverpool in style before Jussie snatched a late equaliser for Bordeaux in a 1-1 Europa League draw.

Brendan Rodgers left six first-team regulars at home for the Group B clash and was forced to endure a perhaps inevitably disjointed first-half showing before Lallana illuminated the contest.

The England midfielder had not featured for a month thanks to a thigh injury but starred with an excellent solo effort midway through the second half at the Nouveax Stade de Bordeaux.

However, home substitute Jussie was on hand to ensure a share of the spoils nine minutes from time, denying Rodgers a morale-boosting win on the back of consecutive top-flight losses.

Jordan Rossiter and Divock Origi started for Liverpool amid seven changes to the XI that lost 3-1 at Manchester United on Saturday.
