For the fourth campaign in a row, Rovers provided Jürgen Klopp’s men with their first test of the summer at Prenton Park.

When the teams met last year, Brewster was a spectator from the stands, watching the Reds edge the contest 3-2 as he continued his lengthy rehabilitation from injury.

Exactly 364 days on, Brewster was named in the starting line-up across the River Mersey – and marked the appearance with his first senior goals for Liverpool by notching twice in quick succession before half-time.
