Jérémy Jacquet scored on his debut as Liverpool concluded their pre-season schedule with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Serie A outfit Como at Anfield.
Andoni Iraola's side took control in the first half on Merseyside, bouncing back from earlier pre-season setbacks against Leeds and Monaco.
Cody Gakpo broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute, converting a clinical finish after being teed up by Jeremie Frimpong.
The Dutch forward then turned provider just before the break, delivering a pinpoint cross for Jacquet to tap home from close range in the 44th minute.
That strike capped an impressive first outing in red for Jacquet and handed Liverpool a commanding two-goal cushion at the interval.
Cesc Fabregas' Como side attempted to mount a response in the second half but found clear-cut chances difficult to create against a resilient home defence.
The main fixture followed an earlier behind-closed-doors match between fringe players at the AXA Training Centre, which finished in a goalless draw across two 35-minute halves.
Liverpool managed the closing stages with minimal fuss, protecting their clean sheet to complete a satisfying afternoon at Anfield.
With pre-season preparations complete, Iraola will now prepare the Reds for his first competitive Premier League fixture in charge in a week's time.
