Cut-price Voronin gives Liverpool
priceless lead
Toulouse 0 Liverpool 1
Andriy Voronin struck his first goal for Liverpool on his full
debut to give his new club a hard-fought victory in their Champions
League third qualifying round first leg. The stocky Ukrainian
lashed a stunning 30-yard effort into the top corner of Nicolas
Douchez's net just two minutes before the break.
That was the incentive Liverpool needed to play out the second-half
against an increasingly frustrated Toulouse, who will now not
relish the return at Anfield in a fortnight.
