Christian Benteke’s injury-time goal earned Liverpool a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday night.
The Belgian substitute converted into an empty net after Asmir Begovic had unconvincingly parried the ball into his path from a Sheyi Ojo cross.
Chelsea took the lead after Eden Hazard skipped through three challenges before slotting into the bottom corner just after the half-hour mark, a contender for goal of the season.
The result means Liverpool must win at West Brom and hope Southampton lose or draw at home to Crystal Palace to finish seventh and have a chance of qualifying for the Europa League next season.
However, seventh will only qualify for the Europa League if Manchester United win in the FA Cup final against Palace and finish in the top six. Liverpool can of course qualify for the Champions League if they beat Sevilla in the Europa League final on May 18.
