Liverpool welcomed a clutch of senior stars back to action Wednesday in Geneva as it rounded off its preseason schedule with a 3-1 win over Lyon.
The night began at the Stade de Geneve with Alisson Becker conceding a third-minute penalty by bringing down Moussa Dembele when attempting to recover the ball after it had slipped from his grasp. Memphis Depay converted the resulting spot kick.

The Reds tied the game through Roberto Firmino soon after, though, with the Brazilian finding the net with a smart strike on the turn from a deflected Xherdan Shaqiri cross.

Liverpool then took the lead moments later, as Joachim Andersen inadvertently crashed Ki-Jana Hoever’s delivery into his own goal from eight yards.

Harry Wilson extended the advantage early in the second half with a stunning effort from range, as the Reds signed off ahead of Sunday’s Community Shield encounter with Manchester City in style.
