Liverpool beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 in the first of two back-to-back friendlies on Monday at Anfield.Ben Doak

If Arne Slot is still trying to decide whether Doak has a role to play this season, Monday's game will have only underlined how talented the young Scot is.

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.

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They were also sparred another battering after the break with Doak withdrawn after 55 minutes on an enjoyable return to Anfield.

Rio Ngumoha

The summer of 2025 could well be remembered as the breakthrough period of Ngumoha's career.

He proved that within two minutes when he fired a shot into the net with his right foot after a dazzling Liverpool breakaway.

His flick set up Nunez's goal soon after and he bamboozled right-back Andoni Gorosabel repeatedly in the first half as he flew down the line.

It's no surprise that the pace wasn't full pelt at this stage of the summer, and Liverpool enjoyed long spells of possession.

Jones' ability to move the ball forward with speed and technical control were noticeable and on several occasions he drove forward with the ball.

He also played a role in the build up to Elliott's late goal and Jones dropped deeper after Alexis Mac Allister made way to help Liverpool retain possession.

Any one else?
