Liverpool 2-0 Monaco

Florian Wirtz is in acres of space and it's almost like he's caught in two minds as he tries to play the hardest pass.

The simple ball was the one there.

KICK-OFF

Arsenal 0-2 Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal get us back under way at the Emirates.

Can Mikel Arteta's side turn things around in the second half?

Liverpool too good for Monaco

That is reward for what has been a superb first-half display from Florian Wirtz so far. Liverpool have been too good for Monaco and could easily have scored a few more. Andoni Iraola will be happy but I imagine he would have wanted a tougher test than this. Monaco came seventh in Ligue 1 last season.

GOAL - Liverpool 2-0 Monaco

Florian Wirtz (29 mins)

It's not the prettiest goal he'll ever score but Florian Wirtz won't mind.

Lewis Koumas dinks one to the back post and Cody Gakpo heads back into the mixer for Wirtz to scramble it home.

Liverpool 1-0 Monaco

Florian Wirtz has another go at finding the back of the net but he can't curl it into the bottom corner.

The German looks sharp, though.

FULL-TIME

Johor Darul Ta'zim 3-3 Chelsea

And it ends 3-3 in Malaysia.

It has been a good watch for the neutral. Six goals, yellow cards and clashes between players.

But, the game isn't over - it will go to penalties.

Yes, penalties in a pre-season friendly. Criminal.

Liverpool 1-0 Monaco

Florian Wirtz is running the show. He slips it through for Jeremie Frimpong high on the right and he manages to find Lewis Koumas but his effort is blocked.

Liverpool 1-0 Monaco

Alisson catches the corner easily and rolls it out to Florian Wirtz.

He skips past the challenge of Eric Dier and takes a sore one on the thigh.

A bit of a dead leg, I think.

HT: Arsenal 0-2 Borussia Dortmund

A nice battle between Kai Havertz and Jobe Bellingham in the middle of the pitch.

Both players have put heavy challengers on each other and are having words as they walk off the pitch at half time.
