Club Friendly: Liverpool vs. Lyon result and highlights as Lacazette double condemns Liverpool to defeat
Liverpool vs. Lyon result, highlights and analysis as Reds suffer defeat on return
Liverpool marked their return to action with defeat as they were beaten 3-1 by Lyon in the first of their two mid-season friendlies.
The Reds had taken the lead through Fabio Carvalho with less than 60 seconds on the clock and missed a golden chance to further build on their impressive start when Mohamed Salah saw a penalty saved shortly after.
However, Lyon made the most of that let-off as they levelled the game before the break through Alexandre Lacazette.
And the French side kicked on again in the second half, getting in front through a goal from substitute Bradley Barcola before Lacazette grabbed a second to seal the result.
Liverpool were then denied the consolation of a bonus point in the post-match penalty shootouts that are a feature of the Dubai Super Cup, a saved Calvin Ramsay effort proving the difference.
But Jurgen Klopp's side will have a chance to put things right when they face Milan in their second and final friendly on Friday.
