August 11, (THEWILL) – Liverpool earned a convincing 4-1 victory against Sevilla in a pre-season match at Anfield on Sunday. The English Premier League side displayed their attacking quality, with Diogo Jota opening the scoring in the 30th minute from a Trent Alexander-Arnold assist.
Luis Díaz added two more goals before half-time, first curling in a right-footed shot and then tapping in from close range after a Dominik Szoboszlai pass. Sevilla made wholesale changes at the break, introducing several new players including Nigerian stars Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidera Ejuke.
Ejuke, a former Liverpool trialist, made an immediate impact by setting up Gerard Fernandez for Sevilla’s consolation goal. However, Liverpool quickly responded through youngster Trey Nyoni, who scored the final goal of the match to make it 4-1.
The friendly match provided valuable playing time for both teams as they prepare for their upcoming league campaigns. Sevilla’s new signings, Iheanacho and Ejuke, will have the opportunity to make their official debuts in La Liga when Sevilla face Las Palmas on Friday.
This pre-season fixture allowed both managers to assess their squads and try different tactical approaches ahead of the 2024/2025 season. Liverpool’s performance will give their fans reason for optimism, while Sevilla will look to build on the positive moments from their second-half display.
