The Reds won their Group E match against Debrecen in Budapest thanks to a fourth- minute goal from David Ngog, but their fate was sealed when Juan Manuel Vargas scored a 29th-minute penalty to give Fiorentina victory at home to Lyon. Failure to reach the last 16 will heap more pressure on under-fire boss Rafa Benitez. And captain Steven Gerrard had no complaints, admitting: You get what you deserve in this competition. The Anfield club, who now join neighbours Everton in the Europa League, are estimated to be 290million in debt. And they will lose a minimum of 10m in revenue following their embarrassing exit. Victory at least ended Liverpools poor run of just one win in their last ten games. They are five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham in the Premier League and go to Everton for a Merseyside derby on Sunday they must win. Arsenal eased into the last 16 with a 2-0 victory over Standard Liege to top Group H. Samir Nasri and Denilson got the goals.
