The Reds still looked like the more likely side to score, however, and came close with a Matip header in the 61st minute. Núñez bagged a quickfire brace, scoring in the 82nd and 87th minutes. Doak also hit the post in between the two goals. Thiago received the ball at the edge of the box and rifled it in to restore the Reds’ advantage. El Halili came close to bringing the Rossoneri level for a second time but he was denied by the crossbar (70’). Much like the previous one, today’s game saw the tempo drop in the second half. Lazetić and Firmino both had opportunities before the half came to a close, but to no avail. Then, they’ll return to Milan as the season gets closer to resuming. During this evening’s friendly, the English side were livelier and more clinical, with Núñez bagging a second-half brace after Salah and Thiago’s goals in the opening period. A minute’s silence was held before the game and AC Milan played with black armbands on in honour of the memory of Siniša Mihajlović. In the 41st minute, disaster again. During the shootout, Mirante took centre stage as the Rossoneri came out on top.

Mohamed Salah was among those on target as Jurgen Klopp's side finished their Dubai Super Cup campaign with a 4-1 win over AC Milan.

He stayed calm, slotting home low inside the near post to make it 3-1. The game was less than four minutes old when he picked up possession in his own half, flicked the ball up and speared a volleyed pass out to Andy Robertson. Soon after, he was spraying it to James Milner on the opposite flank.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was left impressed by the displays of youngsters Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic and Bobby Clark in the win over AC Milan.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Still only 18 years of age, midfielder Bajcetic has featured three times off the bench in the Champions League this season, and once in the league. I'm not sure the Academy could watch the game tonight but when you see these boys and performing in a game like this, it's cool. Bajcetic started the game while both Doak and Clarke got minutes off the bench and clearly caught the eye with assists towards the end of the game.

Mohamed Salah and Thiago were also very sharp as the Reds cruised in the first half. With Jones missing so far in the matches in Dubai and others yet to return from Qatar, that could begin competitively next week. A repeat remains possible, but feels unlikely from this point.

One of the most important signs AC Milan got from the defeat against Liverpool yesterday was how encouraging the performance of Alexis Saelemaekers was.

Pioli hopes that the recovery of Saelemaekers is just the first in a long series from now to the match against Salernitana on January 4. In fact, we had not seen Saelemaekers on the field in any game since 1 October when during the 3-1 win against Empoli the Rossoneri lost the Belgian winger to injury in addition to captain Davide Calabria.
