Report: Reds record pre-season win over Stuttgart in Austria
Liverpool recorded a 3-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in their opening pre-season friendly of 2020-21 in Austria on Saturday evening.
Roberto Firmino tapped the Reds into the lead against the Bundesliga club with 15 minutes on the clock in Salzburg, steering in from Curtis Jones’ low centre.
Firmino then claimed an assist for the champions’ second as he flicked a Mohamed Salah pass into Naby Keita, who prodded beyond Gregor Kobel.
Rhian Brewster rifled in another midway through the second period as Liverpool sealed a comprehensive win in a good workout.
Team news…
Liverpool fielded a different XI in each half in Salzburg, with Jürgen Klopp giving minutes to 23 players in total.
