Liverpool kicked off their pre-season with a 4-2 friendly win over Karlsruhe on Wednesday. Darwin Nunez broke the stalemate early, but the Merseysiders saw their advantage shift to the German side thanks to Lars Stindl and Sebastian Jung.
Cody Gakpo equalized for Liverpool and then after 90 minutes Diogo Jota shot twice in a row.
From Liverpool’s perspective, the match was overshadowed by reports shortly before kick-off alleging that the club had agreed to sell captain Jordan Henderson to Al-Ettifaka for £12m.
