Liverpool Survives Visit To Rotterdam

ROTTERDAM-- Liverpool escaped the Netherlands with a hard-fought victory over Dutch side Feyenoord, 1-0, in the Champions League group stage.

Both goalkeepers, Edwin Zoltebeir for Feyenoord and Jerzy Dudik for Liverpool, were both roundly excellent, as 16 of 17 shots total in the match failed to hit the mark.

The only one that got in was a penalty in the 18th minute, scored by Liverpool's Senegalese defensive midfielder Salif Allassane Diao.

Both sides will finish up the first round robin of the group stage next week.

In other United Kingdom Champions League action, Celtic put an exclamation point on a visit from Italian power Juventus. In what was generally thought to be a key early match in their group, Celtic soundly trumped Juventus 3-1 in Glasgow.

The Celtic won with an international flavor as Bulgarian forward midfielder Stillian Petrov, Northern Irish Neil Lennon, and Swedish super striker Henrik Larsson all scored for the home team.

Manchester United meets Deportivo in A Coruña in Spain tonight, while Arsenal hosts French power Lens at Highbury.
