Liverpool continue their pre-season preparations with a 3-0 win over Thailand.

Liverpool continued their pre-season preparations with a 3-0 win over Thailand on Sunday.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers named a strong team for the clash, with Daniel Agger, Glen Johnson and Steven Gerrard among the starters in Thailand.

It was the Premier League club that started the stronger, Gerrard twice coming close with efforts from distance inside the first five minutes.

Rodgers's side had the lead after 17 minutes when Philippe Coutinho evaded a number of challenges before slotting into the back of the net from close range.

Teerasil Dangda had the hosts' best chance of the first period when he collected a pass from Abul Lasoh before curling an effort towards goal, but it just went wide of the post.

Coutinho came close to adding his second in the latter stages of the half, but the former Inter Milan midfielder saw his powerful strike blocked by Pirot Sokam.

Liverpool did have their second goal in the early stages of the second period, however, when Iago Aspas turned inside the box before stroking a low effort into the bottom corner.

The English outfit then had their third on the hour mark when Aspas found Gerrard inside the box, and he then simply could not miss as he lifted his effort into the top corner.

Luis Suarez, who entered the pitch in the second half, came close to extending the lead with a header on 70 minutes, but his effort from a Gerrard free kick smashed off the crossbar.

Both sides had half-chances in the final stages, namely Gerrard who rattled the crossbar five minutes from time, but it remained 3-0 to the Premier League outfit.
