Pereira won the battle to take a free-kick left of centre, 25  yards from goal, and he beat Kamil Grabara with a sensational strike  that rattled into the rookie goalkeeper's top-right corner.Mane  and Salah were withdrawn at half-time as Shaqiri made his Liverpool  debut, while Joel Pereira replaced Grant in the United goal, with a  pitch invader livening up a dull start to the second period.Ojo  perhaps should have done better with a back-post header from Rafael  Camacho's cross, but he could not direct his effort on target. Sturridge  could, though, the striker scoring within a minute of his arrival.Shaqiri held up a long ball into the box and laid off for Sturridge  to place home a first-time finish that glanced off Pereira's right-hand  post on its way into the net.And when Herrera clipped Robertson's heels in the box, Ojo calmly  slotted in from 12 yards after successfully persuading Sturridge to  allow him to take the penalty.Liverpool were rampant in the  closing stages and Shaqiri launched himself acrobatically at Ben  Woodburn's left-wing cross to complete a memorable Reds debut for the  Switzerland star.</blockquote>
