Liverpool v Bournemouth: Team news

Two goals in each half gave Rob Page’s side the win against the visiting Nigerian outfit ahead of the start of their Premier League 2 campaign away at Leicester City on Monday night.

Will Wright’s first goal for the Reds set them on their way on 38 minutes, the striker controlling a right-wing cross from Trent Kone-Doherty and delivering a precise low finish.

Within two minutes, Liverpool added a second courtesy of full-back Calvin Ramsay. The Scot had been denied from a left-footed curler earlier in the half but this time guided an effort into the corner from a Lewis Koumas pass.

The Reds changed nine of their outfield players at the break – James McConnell continued until the hour mark – and the new line-up enjoyed success three minutes into the second half.

Kaide Gordon cut in dangerously from his right flank before unleashing a blistering left-footed shot that gave the goalkeeper no chance.

The winger was also involved in the final goal of the game, accepting a pass inside the full-back from McConnell on 57 minutes and picking out Keyrol Figueroa. After his powerful blast at the goalkeeper, Afolami Onanuga tucked away the rebound.

Kieran Morrison placed a free-kick just wide and Gordon volleyed over during the last five minutes, as it ended 4-0 for Page’s charges.

**Liverpool first half:** Hall, Ramsay, Miles, Nallo, Pinnington, McConnell, Pilling, Laffey, Koumas, Kone-Doherty, Wright.

**Liverpool second half:** Hall, Pitt, Davidson, Airoboma, Lucky, McConnell (Trueman, 60), Onanuga, Morrison, Ahmed, Figueroa, Gordon.
