The Reds secured a straightforward victory over A-League champions Sydney FC in their post-season friendly, courtesy of first-half strikes by Daniel Sturridge, Alberto Moreno and Roberto Firmino.
More than 70,000 supporters watched on from the stands at the ANZ Stadium, which played host to a unique match – with club legends Daniel Agger, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Steve McManaman joining the first team on the pitch.
