Liverpool kicked off their double-header against Athletic Club with a 4-1 win at Anfield.
Scorers: Nguhoma 2', Darwin 5', Doak 43', Elliot 58'; Guruzeta 76'
It took the Reds all of two minutes to take the lead as Rio Nghuma netted his second in as many games.
Darwin Nunez, on what could potentially be his final game at Anfield, then nabbed a second with just five minutes on the clock.
Having been shell-shocked in the opening few minutes Athletic slowly got some momentum in the game but that was lost just before half time as Ben Doak added a third, firing in from a tight angle.
Into the second half and Liverpool got their fourth of the afternoon on the hour mark as Harvey Elliot got in on the act with a composed strike.
The Spanish side did manage to pull one goal back late on through Gorka Guruzeta.
Arne Slot's side will now play a second game against Athletic later this evening.
