It may have only been a pre-season friendly, but that didn’t stop Liverpool fans from taking to Twitter to express their delight at the Reds performance.
Brendan Rodgers’ side ran out 4-0 winners over Preston at Deepdale in sunny, hot conditions on Saturday afternoon.
Goals from Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Ibe, Raheem Sterling and new signing Iago Aspas sunk the League One side.
It was also the first chance Reds fans have had to see the new boys Aspas, Kolo Toure, Luis Alberto and Simon Mignolet in action for the club.
We’ve brought together just a few of the best tweets from Liverpool fans following the win:
Liverpool win ?.
Aspas debut goal ?.
All new signings play?
Moyes loses 1st game in charge ?.
PERFECT. #LFC

I know you shouldn't read too much into pre-season friendlies but I'd rather win them than lose. Hope this is a sign of things to come! #LFC

I think Aspas was the best. His ball control was really good, loved how he sometimes changed his pace quickly. Got a goal and an assist too.
