Liverpool kept alive their hopes of silverware this season with a 3-0 victory over Lille at Anfield to win their Europa League last-16 tie 3-1 on aggregate.
Captain Steven Gerrard's ninth-minute penalty gave them the ideal start, after Lucas Leiva had been fouled.
Fernando Torres then struck twice in the second half - his first European goals for more than 11 months - to put his side into the quarter-finals.
