Premier League legends Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard have launched a scathing criticism of Liverpool's defence following the Red's 2-2 draw in the Champions League tie against Sevilla.

The Reds were the only Premier League side to drop points on the opening matchday of Champions League.

Two defensive mistakes from the Jurgen Klopp's side allowed the Spanish side to get away a crucial point from Anfield.

"We talked about them defending before the game," Lampard said on BT Sport.

"It all came true early in the game. Two basic mistakes, Lovren with the most glaring one, missing the ball that he should clear.

"But you were talking about Moreno, Rio, the left-back."

Talking about Wissam Ben Yedder's opening in the game, Ferdinand added: "He (Moreno) doesn't even think about defending, his first thought is to get up the pitch.

"He looks at the attacker there, you've got to get goal side. That's criminal to be the wrong side of the attacker there. But Lovren, first and foremost, should clear his lines.

"Why he has fallen over there to clear the ball I will never know."
