#LIVERPOOL 3 – 1 #LYON [CLUB FRIENDLIES] HIGHLIGHTS 2019

Liverpool, boosted by the return of a number of key players, ended their pre-season on a high as they comfortably ran out 3-1 winners against Lyon in Geneva.

​

The game started in the worst possible way for Liverpool, with Alisson Becker uncharacteristically flapping at a Memphis Depay cross before hauling down Moussa Dembele to concede a second minute penalty – Depay scoring the resulting spot-kick.

Liverpool eventually grew into the game and Roberto Firmino levelled in the 17th minute, a fierce low drive into the bottom corner. Only four minutes later, they took the lead courtesy of a spectacular own-goal from Joachim Andersen – following a dangerous Ki-Jana Hoever cross.

There was a fantastic tempo, and Liverpool began to dominate the game with chances for Mohamed Salah and Harry Wilson.

The Reds greater intent was rewarded with a third less than ten minutes into the second half, as Wilson rifled home a venomous drive from 25 yards out – on the same day he was linked with a £25m move to Bournemouth.

From there on, it was plain sailing as Liverpool took control – here’s 90min’s full review of the game.
