Two goals, scored via Rio Ngumoha and Darwin Nunez, within five minutes got the game off to a perfect start, after the pre-match tributes to Diogo Jota.

Ben Doak grabbed a third before the break to underline the Reds' dominance, although that dropped a little after the half-time break.

Here's who stood out for Liverpool in game no.1 of the double header.



He was a constant menace down Liverpool's right, linking well with Harvey Elliott.

In fact, the pair combined for Nunez's opener, when Doak's cross was nodded down by Ngumoha, before Liverpool's no.9 flicked it past Alez Padilla in the away goal.

Doak, who showed a good turn of pace throughout and produced several penetrative runs in behind, grabbed the third of the game when he drove down the line and fired at goal.

Admittedly, it was a moment Padilla won't want to see back as he flapped unsuccessfully at the ball.

Minutes before, the Liverpool teenager had forced the goalkeeper into a smart save at his near post; the Bilbao defence were pleased with a break at half-time.

They were also sparred another battering after the break with Doak withdrawn after 55 minutes on an enjoyable return to Anfield.

Jones and Ngumoha were also excellent for Liverpool.

That waned slightly as the game continued, although a jink inside drew an excited collective intake of breath from the Anfield crowd at the start of the second period.

Ngumoha was replaced after 67 minutes on his second Anfield senior appearance.
