Liverpool drew 1-1 with Wigan Athletic in their second pre-season friendly on Friday evening.

Mohamed Salah's first Reds goal ensured the visitors remain unbeaten in pre-season after the Latics had gone ahead midway through the first half.

Post-match

Jürgen Klopp in his post-match press conference...

"Another game, no injuries, good," says the boss.

On Mohamed Salah, he adds: "First situation, nice sprint! We played some wonderful pieces of football."

Full Time

And there goes the final whistle.

A 1-1 draw at the DW Stadium after debutant Mohamed Salah equalised for the Reds just before the break.#

Dejan Lovren hit the post in the second half, but it ends all square.

Next up: Crystal Palace in Hong Kong on Wednesday.

90

Now Milner goes close to a winner, but his effort is palmed away.

One minute added on...

87

A good chance for Liverpool, but Sturridge side-foots wide after being played in by Henderson.

76

Lovren hits the post!

The centre-back gets on the end of Milner's cross and directs his header back across goal, only for the woodwork to deny him.

Still 1-1, with just under 15 minutes left to play.

69

Daniel Sturridge curls a left-footed shot towards the far post, but it's palmed away by the Wigan 'keeper.

55

Nothing to speak of in terms of goalmouth action at either end so far in this second half.

It's raining pretty heavily now, though, so that's an update of sorts for you...

Watch Mohamed Salah's first Liverpool goal again and again...

Half Time

And the half-time whistle blows immediately after Salah's leveller.

The Reds' second-half team are out on the pitch warming up in the Wigan drizzle.

We're off to get a cuppa, but will be back in situ for the second period!

Goal

Salah scores!

Liverpool have their equaliser just before half-time, and it's Mohamed Salah on his debut!

Coutinho plays in Firmino, who unselfishly lays it on to his new teammate, who slots in.

42

Lallana goes close again, with the skipper's diving header being saved by Walton following some excellent link-up between Alexander-Arnold and Firmino down Liverpool's right.

35

What happened there?!

Firmino opts to square it to Lallana instead of shooting from close range, but the Brazilian's pass goes astray. Somehow, the Reds are still behind.

34

It feels like a matter of time before Liverpool draw level, as Firmino forces a save from Christian Walton after good work from Salah, before Lallana shoots wide from the edge of the area.

31

Close!

Coutinho sends a 25-yard drive over the crossbar. It's been a good response from the Reds since we fell behind.

28

A good spell of pressure from the Reds ends with the Wigan 'keeper saving Firmino's low effort.

21

Goal

Wigan take the lead

Alex Gilbey's low shot finds the bottom corner after a Wigan free-kick. 1-0 to the Latics.

19

A short break in play here as Gini Wijnaldum receives treatment after getting a knock to the head.

Our No.5 is fine to continue, though.

12

A first chance for the hosts, as Omar Bogle curls an effort wide from 20 yards.

8

Liverpool enjoying the better of the opening exchanges, here. 

Alexander-Arnold's just had a low shot saved, before Lallana drags an effort wide.

An early display of Mohamed Salah's electric pace, there, as he bursts forward and shoots narrowly over after receiving Coutinho's pass
