There were plenty of changes in the first and second halves but Liverpool held on for victory at Lincoln Financial Field, giving new manager Ane Slot just his second win in two pre-season games.

The Reds remain in the United States to face rivals Manchester United in South Carolina on Saturday (12.30am UK time) before facing Sevilla at Anfield in their final pre-season game.
