Preston v Liverpool live: Bradley gives Reds the lead in first match since death of Diogo Jota

Mamardashvili’s first real involvement sees the Georgian punch away a deep cross.

Preston come again with the long throw though, and it’s headed on at the front post before Hughes heads it narrowly over.

There’ll be two minutes of added time.

The best chance of the half for the hosts as McCann gets free on the left and swings in a cross that takes a deflection into the path of Osmajic, but the striker can’t react quickly enough to put the effort on target.

Liverpool are beginning to dominate possession now, though the game continues at a fairly slow pace.

It certainly has the feeling if a preseason friendly, which is understandable given the circumstances and lack of preparation time.

GOAL! An opener for the visitors!

It all starts with good work from Ngumoha, who skips past a man in the box before feeding it to Chiesa. He skips past another challenge and fizzes in a cross which takes a deflection into the path of Bradley, who taps it in with a decent finish.

There have been encouraging signs for Liverpool’s youngsters, as Ngumoha and Nyoni combine before the latter sends an effort over from just outside the box.

Tsimikas swings in a great cross to Szoboszlai at the back post and there’s some good defending from Hughes to nick it away from the Hungarian.
