Utaka’s goal proved to be the difference in the 78th minute when he broke down the left flank, cut inside, before he thundered his shot high into the Motherwell goal.

Ryan Babel netted for Liverpool, who now face a tricky away tie in Turkey next week in order to reach the group stages.
Aston Villa drew 1-1 away against Rapid Vienna with Barry Bannan getting their goal, while goals from Efrain Juarez and Georgios Samaras against Utrecht saw Celtic take a step closer to the group stages with a 2-0 win.
