Liverpool beat Manchester United on Sunday morning to complete their three-match US tour with a 100% record.
In front of a 77,559 – the biggest non-US football crowd at the Williams-Brice Stadium – Fabio Carvalho put Liverpool ahead after 10 minutes when he took advantage of some slack defending inside the area from Casemiro.
The lead was doubled on 36 minutes when Mohamed Salah’s excellent close control beat United youngster Toby Collyer on the touchline, with the Egypt forward bursting to the byline to set up Curtis Jones with a low cross.
A third came when Konstantinos Tsimikas seized on a loose ball in the 61st minute, scoring after Andre Onana failed to hold Diogo Jota’s instinctive first-time effort.
While Liverpool cruised in preseason, it was a difficult outing for United was made even worse by what appeared to be a serious injury to young defender Will Fish, who left the field on a stretcher after coming off worst when he fouled Harvey Blair.
The trip for United ends with them having lost to both Premier League opponents faced after defeat against Arsenal seven days earlier, although they did beat Real Betis in between.
