Report: Reds hit seven in Anfield friendly win over Blackpool

Liverpool came from two goals down to beat Blackpool 7-2 at Anfield in their final pre-season friendly of the summer on Saturday.

The visitors took the lead after a quarter of an hour when CJ Hamilton wriggled away from Billy Koumetio on halfway and ran clear before finishing beyond Alisson Becker.

Jerry Yates doubled their advantage from the penalty spot; however, Joel Matip reduced the deficit when he glanced in just before the break.

The champions then went in front with two goals in as many minutes shortly after the restart. Sadio Mane tapped in after his initial header struck the bar and Roberto Firmino diverted a driven ball from Takumi Minamino into the net with a neat flick.
