Liverpool 3 Athletic Bilbao 1 : Solanke Scores & Bags Assist, New Paul Pogba Stars, Firmino Spot On Again

Liverpool rounded off their preparations for the 2017-2018 season with an impressive  3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao at the Aviva Stadium (Dublin) on Saturday evening.

England U20 World Cup-winning duo Ovie Ejaria and Dominic Solanke came off the bench for the Anfield side at half-time.

Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino scored his second goal in as many games from the penalty spot after 21 minutes, only for Iñaki Williams to restore parity for the Spanish club on the half-hour mark.

Woodburn restored the Reds one-goal advantage in the 59th minute after he was fed by Dominic Solanke.

Solanke doubled Liverpool's lead with a glorious header in the 80th minute, his third goal in pre-season.

The Golden Ball winner at the 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup was also on target against Crystal Palace and Hertha BSC.
