Luis Diaz: Liverpool claimed a 4-1 win over Sevilla in the first of their back-to-back home friendlies on Sunday afternoon. A fabulous Diogo Jota volley gave the Reds a breakthrough with half an hour played at Anfield, before Luis Diaz netted twice in quick succession before the interval.

Liverpool emerged into blazing sunshine for their maiden Anfield appearance of both the new season and the tenure of head coach Arne Slot.

Slot’s men almost carved out a third-minute chance when Mohamed Salah’s prodded pass in behind for the scampering Diaz was cleared at the last by Sevilla goalkeeper Orjan Nyland.
