Liverpool 3-2 Athletic Bilbao – Trues and Gakpo on Anfield Scoreheet

Liverpool won his second friendly match of the night against Athletic Bilbao while Arne Slot’s first regular team presented a show in Anfield.
Mohamed Salah was captain for the night and opened the scoring before missing a late penalty against the Spanish part.
Dutch winger Cody Gakpo scored twice to ensure the victory against a competitive bilbao outfit.
It was the first chance for Anfield’s crowd to see the summer signatures Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Florian Wirtz.
Goalkeeper Mamardashvili made some beautiful late stops while Wirtz missed some chances at the other end, while Ekitike was involved in the creation of Salah’s opening.
Slot may have more questions than answers to the rear, because without Captain Virgil Van Dijk, the Reds looked trembling once again.
But his new attack looks of quality – and it is without target Alexander Isak.
As in the first friend of the night between the sides, the game stopped in the 20th minute to honor Diogo Jota with applause and songs.
Liverpool faces Crystal Palace to Wembley on Sunday August 10 before opening his first League at home defending in Bournemouth on Friday August 15.
