Jurgen Klopp was left frustrated on his Anfield debut as Rubin Kazan held his Liverpool side to a 1-1 draw in Europa League Group B on Thursday night.
Marko Devic gave Rubin a surprise lead on 15 minutes, holding off the challenge of Nathaniel Clyne to expertly finish past Liverpool ‘keeper Simon Mignolet.
The Russian side had opportunities to double their lead before captain Oleg Kuzmin was sent off after receiving his second yellow card for a foul on Emre Can on 36 minutes, and seconds later Liverpool were level as the Germany midfielder bundled home an equaliser from the resulting free-kick.
Liverpool had chances to win the game through substitute Christian Benteke and the impressive Adam Lallana, but failed to break down a stubborn Rubin defence as Vately Chaly’s side held on for more than 55 minutes with 10 men.
