  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Luis Diaz soon netted a brace as the Reds took a convincing 3-0 first-half lead. Gerard Fernandez then pulled one back in the 66th minute, however, Trey Nyoni soon restored his club's three-goal lead. The Reds have enjoyed a terrific run of form in the pre-season. Except for their first friendly match against Preston, which was held behind closed doors, they won every single game in their United States tour and are now on the verge of beating the Spanish side at home.
