Making just his fifth appearance since joining the Reds from Juventus, Federico Chiesa concluded the scoring on a comfortable afternoon for Arne Slot's much-changed side. 

Liverpool broke the deadlock in the sixth minute with a sweeping counter-attack as Darwin Nunez, who had missed two earlier chances, squared the ball for Diogo Jota to finish. 

After concerns about his defensive displays, Trent Alexander-Arnold showed his class in attack, crashing an effort in off the post to double the hosts' lead on the stroke of half-time.

But shortly after the restart, Accrington twice went close to giving their supporters something to celebrate, with바카라 웹사이트Josh Woods striking바카라 웹사이트the crossbar and바카라 웹사이트Donald Love heading wide.바카라 웹사이트
