Liverpool started their friendly clash against Lyon today terrifyingly fast with Fabio Carvalho putting the Reds ahead on 40 seconds.
Jurgen Klopp named a strong starting XI for the clash against the Ligue 1 side and the first-half performance has been solid from the FA Cup holders.
Many of the players involved today have not been in action since the win over Southampton last month and the break appears to have breathed new life into Klopp’s men.
After quality pressure from Fabio Carvalho, Harvey Elliott and Mo Salah, the Lyon defender had no choice but to hand possession over to Bobby Firmino.
The Brazilian slid the ball to our 11 inside the box, then was stripped and the ball fell nicely to Carvalho who finished from close range.
The Egyptian king has been saved a penalty since we took the lead and Lyon has tied after a defensive mistake between Caoimhin Kelleher and Andy Robertson.
