Daniel Sturridge got the Reds going and - with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher back in the starting XI - Liverpool had little trouble Down Under
A Steven Gerrard-inspired first half laid the platform for a comprehensive 3-0 win by Liverpool over Sydney FC in front of 72,892 fans.
The blistering Reds were three goals up at the break at u200bSydney's u200bANZ Stadium, and had it not been for the home side's goalkeeper Danny Vukovic, it could have been more for the Premier League visitors.
After a rousing rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" followed by a minute's silence for those who lost their lives in Manchester, Liverpool made a mockery of arriving on the day of the game by starting in completely dominating fashion.
