Liverpool beat a Thai team made up mostly of Under-23 players 3-0 in Bangkok this evening.

Philippe Coutinho opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a solo goal and forward Iago Aspas added a second in the 49th minute. Skipper Steven Gerrard chipped home the third 10 minutes later.

Forward Luis Suarez, who has been linked with moves away from the club, played the last 28 minutes of the game and struck the bar with a header in the 69th minute.

The game concludes the Merseysiders' trip to Australia and Asia in which they won all their matches without conceding a goal. They next head back to Europe to face Olympiacos, Valerenga and Celtic.
