Report
Forwards Milan Baros and Emile Heskey, battling to earn a regular
starting berth alongside Michael Owen, each scored twice as Liverpool
thrashed the Hong Kong national team 6-0 in an exhibition match
on Sunday.
The English Premier League side maintained their unbeaten pre-season
form in the last game of their Far East tour, playing before a capacity
crowd of about 40,000 in their first appearance in the former British
colony in 20 years.
Czech midfielder Vladimir Smicer, under mounting pressure since
the signing of Australian Harry Kewell, struck the opening goal
after 14 minutes but the second did not arrive until 12 minutes
after the break.
Heskey, who produced an aggressive display despite the sweltering
heat, beat the offside trap to score in the 57th minute and capped
off the game with a booming drive in injury time.
In between, the impressive Czech forward Baros scored in the 76th
and 89th minute, while newly-signed 18-year-old French striker Anthony
Le Tallec was also on the scoresheet after an hour having replaced
Owen.
