Rhian Brewster: Hendo asked me if I wanted the penalty

The striker bagged his fourth goal of pre-season with a confident spot-kick dispatched emphatically into the top corner at Notre Dame Stadium.

It wasn’t enough to prevent a defeat for the Reds in Indiana but Brewster – one of 10 players introduced for the final half-hour of the game – was buoyed by being given the responsibility from 12 yards by his teammates.

He told Liverpoolfc.com: “Hendo was walking but he asked if I wanted it and I said, ‘Yeah’. He said, ‘Go on’. I picked my spot and hit it there.

“It’s good to score again but it’s just good to get more minutes and get fitter and fitter each time.
