Liverpool have now lost four consecutive games in all competi- tions for the first time in 22 years. it started so well when Benayoun, stabbing home Fabio Aurelios driven cross, made the break- through in the 41st minute. There were warning signs before then, though, when Jose reina had kept out Lyon striker Lisandro Lopezs header.

But even if he does make a cameo appearance, it is believed he is not being considered for a first-team debut against Manchester United on Sunday. Appeal snub devastates Kenny Defiant: Kenny Sheffield United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny fears his career may be over after the football Association dismissed his appeal against a nine-month drugs ban. The 31-year-old, handed the suspension last month after failing a doping test, challenged the severity of the punishment but has failed in his efforts to have it reduced. Kenny said: i am devastated an honest mistake on my part could cost me my career. i am positive i will bounce back, and i really hope that this experience will stop others from making the same mistake. Kenny was banned when a routine urine sample taken after the Championship play-off semi-final in May was found to contain traces of the banned substance ephedrine. chamPIONshIP By chRiS STocKS sOccER chAMpionS LEAGUELEaguE Of IRELaNd Brilliant Bohs back on top BoheMiAnS moved back a point clear at the top of the Premier divison table thanks to a 3-1 win over an awful St Patricks Athletic at dalymount Park as title rivals Shamrock Rovers had their 22-match unbeaten run ended at home to Cork City.
