Second-half goals from Ben Woodburn and Dominic Solanke fired Liverpool to a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in Dublin as the Reds signed off their pre-season programme on a pleasing note.
With Inaki Williams having cancelled out Roberto Firmino’s early penalty, Woodburn sent Liverpool back in front just short of the hour mark before new signing Solanke rounded off the victory.
Those goals will be especially satisfying for the two young forwards as they bid to force their way into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans this season.
The result sends Liverpool into their opening Premier League fixture at Watford next Saturday on the back of a victory, having suffered their only defeat of pre-season last time out – on penalties to Atletico Madrid in the Audi Cup final.
