One thing happened for the first time in 219 days for Liverpool against Preston

It may not have been a match that was televised or fully shared to Liverpool fans, but we can still read a lot into some events which happened in the friendly against Preston on Friday.

One of these was the fact that Ben Doak started the match for the Reds, something he hasn’t done in 219 days since the start against Union SG in the Europa League.

After also missing Scotland’s Euro 2024 campaign through injury, it’s great to see that the youngster can have such an immediate role in this pre-season.
