Rhian Brewster got on the scoresheet for Liverpool as they eased to a 3-0 victory over Stuttgart in their opening pre-season game in Austria.
Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita were also on target as Jurgen Klopp’s men stepped up their preparations for next weekend’s Community Shield game against Arsenal.
New signing Kostas Tsimikas made his debut for the club as Klopp fielded a different team in the second half.
Firmino opened the scoring in the 15th minute after good work from Curtis Jones. The Brazilian then turned provider to create the second for Keita five minutes before the interval.
Brewster, who impressed on loan at Swansea last season, added the third from a James Milner pass with 68 minutes gone.

Liverpool wrap up their Austrian training camp with a second friendly against RB Salzburg on Tuesday.
Jurgen Klopp and his Premier League champions have been away in Europe this week for a pre-season training camp, but it appeared their preparations for the 2020/21 campaign would be interrupted.
Austria was added to the UK Government’s quarantine list, meaning anyone travelling back to the UK from Austria after 4a.m BST on Saturday will be required to self-isolate for 14 days to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19.
However, the Liverpool players and staff will NOT have to self-isolate when they return.
The club has successfully applied for exemption by the Football Association due to their upcoming friendly matches lined up against Stuttgart and Red Bull Salzburg.
