Liverpool end with a big win against AC Milan
As part of the last friendly match of the Dubai Super Cup, already won by Arsenal, Liverpool crossed swords with AC Milan. Before facing Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, in six days, Jurgen Klopp’s men thought they would be full of confidence. Defeated by OL in their first match, the Reds started this meeting perfectly.
Served by Joel Matip, Mohamed Salah thus discovered the opening from the fifth minute of play (1-0, 5th). Despite these dream beginnings, Roberto Firmino’s teammates cracked shortly before the half-hour mark and Alexis Saelemaekers brought the two teams up to speed (1-1, 29th). Just before the break, Thiago finally restored the advantage to his team (2-1, 41st). Dominating, the Reds kept their lead after returning from the locker room and even worsened the score in the last moments through Darwin Nunez, replacing at kick-off and author of a double (82nd, 89th). Final score: 4-1.
