Liverpool miss Roberto Firmino's link-up play, James Milner could be a defensive midfield option after good quarterback role, while Kostas Tsimikas failed in his bid to impress... FIVE things we learned after own goal edges Reds past Mainz in friendly

Liverpool left it late but Jurgen Klopp's men picked up their first victory of pre-season after a last-gasp own goal earned a win over German club Mainz in Austria.

Klopp named two completely different line-ups for the two halves against his former side, with Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate the key men in the first-half eleven, while Divock Origi, Takumi Minamino and Curtis Jones were the headline acts in the less experienced team after half-time.

Despite the star names in Liverpool's first-half side, the opening 45 minutes ended goalless with very few chances of note.
