Jurgen Klopp’s men took the lead before halftime thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez, Bobby Clark, and Diogo Jota, and young Ben Doak’s goal secured the victory. Here are the top five highlights from the game.
Curtis in command?
Liverpool are being urged to sign more defensive midfielders after already losing Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. Curtis Jones, on the other hand, may return to the No. 6 role he played in this game. The youthful sensation is no stranger to the position, having played it for England U21s this summer. He has the talents to keep the ball, as well as the discipline and patience to get the job done properly. It would be fantastic if Jones could play on a regular basis in order to develop as a manager.
Darwin Nunez keeps the excitement going
Although it is still pre-season, it is difficult not to be enthusiastic by Nunez’s performance this summer. The Uruguayan has scored four goals and provided one assist in three games. The most encouraging aspect of Nunez’s play was the poise he lacked last season.
Mac Allister demonstrates excellence
If you’re wondering why Liverpool signed Alexis MacAllister this summer, look no further than his first-half performance against Leicester.
The Argentinian’s control in tight places and ability to observe the pass were superb in this encounter, as were the Reds’ two goals. Fans will be looking forward to him bringing his ingenuity to the forthcoming matches after this warm-up phase in Singapore.
New strategy for a fixed circumstance
Trent Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool’s best free kicker, particularly in corners. However, the defender appears to have a significant rival in summer signing Dominik Szoboszlai.
He made a beautiful corner every inch of the way to help Liverpool score. If he continues to do so, Andy Robertson may be demoted to second choice in set-pieces.
