Report: Liverpool beaten by Strasbourg at Anfield

Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat to RC Strasbourg Alsace at Anfield on Sunday night in their latest pre-season encounter of the summer.

The visitors struck twice in the opening 14 minutes against a youthful Reds side, with Adrien Thomasson and Habib Diallo netting.

The pair then combined for a third for Strasbourg, with Thomasson clipping in from Diallo’s pass midway through the first half.

Just a touch over 24 hours since the Community Shield victory over Manchester City, Liverpool were back in action – albeit with a much-changed line-up.

Fabio Carvalho was handed a start in attack, while the experience of the likes of James Milner, Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate and Harvey Elliott was also included in an otherwise young XI.
