Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers have been praised by Chris Sutton for scoring an “excellent team goal” in the Europa League last night as they took a point back to Ibrox.

Rangers were hoping to make it three wins out of three in the competition, but had a difficult mission on their hands away at Benfica, a team boasting 23 consecutive home wins.

Things got even harder for the Light Blues right at the start as Filip Helander’s error allowed Rafa Silva to drive at goal, his subsequent cut-back diverted in by Connor Goldson.

Rangers then found themselves with a man advantage after Nicolas Otamendi was sent off on 19 minutes, and soon turned the game on its head.

A Diogo Goncalves own goal and a Glen Kamara effort in the space of a minute had the Gers 2-1 up at the break, before Alfredo Morelos became his side’s all-time European top goalscorer.

Sutton was particularly impressed with Kamara’s goal, as well as the build-up, praising the effort on Twitter:

Rangers weren’t able to hold out for victory, however, with Silva scoring in the 77th minute effort, aided by another Helander error, before Darwin Nunez claimed a 91st-minute equaliser.

Up next for the Gers is Sunday’s Premiership meeting with Hamilton at Ibrox.
