National striker Luton Shelton and defender Adrian Reid played the full 90 minutes for Norwegian club Valerenga's, but could not stop the European giants Liverpool from carving out an easy 4-1 in their pre-season friendly on Tuesday at the Ullevaal Stadion, Oslo.

In his debut appearance, the Portmore United defender Reid had a nervous moment, almost scoring an own-goal, when he made an awkward defensive header that hit his own post.

Shelton, who recently signed a £1m move from English club
Sheffield United, was ineffective against Liverpool's experienced back four of Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger, Alvaro Arbeloa and Andrea Dossena, as the hosts posed little threat in the first half.

Shelton's strike partner, Serb Boljan Zajic, twice came close from long range, before levelling the scores early into the second half.

Reid was then exposed by Torres' pace as the Spaniard grabbed the second goal for his team.

Xabi Alonso put the visitors in front, while strikes from Israeli Yossi Benayoun and substitute striker David Ngog of France, helped the Reds to extend their unbeaten run in pre-season to seven matches.
