Coutinho played the false nine role to perfection for Liverpool against Newcastle and could be employed in the same position against Aston Villa.

Liverpool FC playmaker Philipe Coutinho marked his return to Liverpool FC with a pre-season goal against HJK Helsinki and we look at the clips from the Reds’ 2-0 win.

 

Second half goals from Divock Origi and the returning Philippe Coutinho ensured Liverpool FC beat HJK 2-0 in a pre-season game.

The game was a dull affair until Origi opened the scoring with a well taken goal in the second half as the Reds came out with better movement and pressing.

Jordon Ibe, having starred in the Reds pre-season earning rave reviews, crossed low from the right which was flicked on by James Milner into the path of Origi who smashed the ball home from close range.

Making his first start of pre-season following the Copa America, Coutinho looked lively all afternoon despite his team mates struggling.

The Brazil star scored the second goal for the Reds, linking up well with new signing James Milner to run into space in the area, before his shot took a wicked deflection and found the back of the net.

The clips of the goals and individual performances from the game can be seen below.
