National striker Luton Shelton and defender Adrian Reid played
the full 90 minutes for Norwegian club Valerenga's, but could
not stop the European giants Liverpool from carving out an easy
4-1 in their pre-season friendly on Tuesday at the Ullevaal
Stadion, Oslo.
In his
debut appearance, the Portmore United defender Reid had a nervous
moment, almost scoring an own-goal, when he made an awkward
defensive header that hit his own post.
Shelton, who recently signed a £1m move from English club
Sheffield United, was ineffective against Liverpool's experienced
back four of Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger, Alvaro Arbeloa and
Andrea Dossena, as the hosts posed little threat in the first
half.
Shelton's strike partner, Serb Boljan Zajic, twice came close from
long range, before levelling the scores early into the second
half.
Reid
was then exposed by Torres' pace as the Spaniard grabbed the
second goal for his team.
Xabi
Alonso put the visitors in front, while strikes from Israeli Yossi
Benayoun and substitute striker David Ngog of France, helped the
Reds to extend their unbeaten run in pre-season to seven matches.
