  1. Goodbye

    .

    So Arsenal beat German champions Bayern Munich on penalties and Liverpool overcome Crystal Palace with the help of a goal from new signing Dominic Solanke.

    Many thanks for your company. And remember, we're just 23 days from the start of the new Premier League season.

    Until next time...

  2. Juventus sign Szczesny

    Just time for some quick breaking transfer news before I go.

    Juventus have confirmed the signing of Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny on a four-year contract.

  3. Full-time

    Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace

    'You'll Never Walk Alone' rings out into the Hong Kong night as the referee brings the game to an end. Liverpool will meet Leicester in Saturday's final.

  4. Post update

    Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace

    .

    Five minutes left. Jurgen Klopp will be satisfied with this performance. A first goal to remember for Dominic Solanke, while Frank de Boer will have learned a lot about his new side. Palace have given the Reds a decent test in Hong Kong.

  5. Post update

    Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace

    The attendance in Hong Kong is 39,273. Judging by the way each goal has been greeted, I'm guessing 39,000 are Liverpool fans.

  6. GOAL

    Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace

    Divock Origi doubles Liverpool's lead from close range in the 80th minute. James Milner does all the hard work before delivering the ball into the Palace area, Philippe Coutinho takes a wild swing and the ball falls into the path of Origi to tuck home.

  7. Post update

    Liverpool 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Marko Grujic lets fly from 30-yards...just wide. That was very close to being very special.

    There's about 15 minutes left in Hong Kong. As it stands, Liverpool will meet Leicester in Saturday's final of the Premier League Asia Trophy.

  8. Yellow card

    Liverpool 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Terrible challenge by Marko Grujic. The Liverpool substitute hacks down Wilfried Zaha in full flight. That would have been a red card in a competitive match. Instead Grujic escapes with a yellow.

  9. GOAL

    Liverpool 1-0 Crystal Palace

    .

    Liverpool have the breakthrough thanks to a screamer by new signing Dominic Solanke.

    What a moment for the 19-year-old. The former Chelsea player's first Liverpool goals is a clever finish from the edge of the box after a flick by Divock Origi.

  10. 'Biggest game of our lives'

    Scotland fans

    Less than six hours until kick-off as Scotland face England in their first major tournament game at Euro 2017 and the Tartan Army are arriving in Utrecht in increasing numbers, dressed pretty in pink and wearing kilts.

    England manager Mark Sampson caused some amusement in the press conference yesterday when it was suggested he'd given his team a Scottish history lesson, which included the film Braveheart.

    When this was put to Scotland captain Gemma Fay, she replied: "We don't need a history lesson, we're born into the rivalry."

    There will be little animosity, but Fay admits that for many of the Scottish players, it will be the biggest game of their careers.

  11. More penalties?

    Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Two games, two shootouts.

    Meanwhile, it's still goalless after 54 minutes in Hong Kong.

    More penalties?

  12. Post update

    Arsenal 1-1 Bayern Munich

    Drink it in, Arsenal fans. The Gunners have beaten German champions Bayern Munich...on penalties. It won't ease the pain of those bruising Champions League defeats but it's a start.

  13. Arsenal win on penalties

    Arsenal 1-1 Bayern Munich

    Arsenal win 3-2 on penalties as substitute keeper Emiliano Martinez saves from Juan Bernat.

    Arsene Wenger is all smiles. No wonder. The Gunners trailed for so long in the game.

  14. Post update

    Arsenal 1-1 Bayern Munich

    Or not...after a delay there's now a penalty shootout in Shanghai. Can Arsenal win this?

  15. GOAL

    Arsenal 1-1 Bayern Munich

    .

    Late, late, late, late Arsenal equaliser in Shanghai.

    Alex Iwobi, who is completely unmarked, gets on the end of Aaron Ramsey's cross to nod his side level after they had trailed for so long.

    And that's the end. It's all over.

    .
  16. Post update

    Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Half-time in Hong Kong. Another penalty shootout looming?

  17. 'Felt good'

  18. On this day... in 2015

    Liverpool reached an agreement with Aston Villa over the payment terms for the £32.5million transfer of Christian Benteke.

    Christian Benteke
  19. Yellow card

    Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace

    A yellow card in a friendly as Palace's Scott Dann wrestles Mohamed Salah off the ball as the new Liverpool signing looked set to burst through on goal.

  20. Benteke close

    Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Corner to Palace. It's whipped in and up goes Christian Benteke and Simon Mignolet. The Liverpool keeper just about does enough to steer it off the head of the former Reds striker. That would have been 1-0 but for Mignolet.
