Arsenal, Liverpool record big wins in International Champions Cup
Liverpool dominated Manchester United in general play and the scoreboard in front of a huge US crowd, Arsenal hammered Paris Saint-Germain while Chelsea and Juventus needed penalties to win their International Champions Cup (ICC) games.
Liverpool completed their ICC campaign with a thumping 4-1 victory over Premier League rivals Manchester United, with a stunning Xherdan Shaqiri goal on debut delighting the majority of the 101,254 fans at Michigan Stadium.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were too good for Jose Mourinho's men, in particular in the second half.
A 28th minute Sadio Mane penalty and goals from substitutes Daniel Sturridge (66th) and Sheyi Ojo (74th pen) gave Liverpool a two-goal cushion with Andreas Pereira scoring a 31st-minute free-kick for United.
But that was as good as it got for the Red Devils - still missing their World Cup stars - with second-half substitute Shaqiri's brilliant overhead goal on 82 minutes sealing an impressive Liverpool victory.
Mesut Ozil scored for Arsenal in a 5-1 victory over a barely-recognisable PSG line-up in Singapore.
The Gunners signed off the Asian leg of their ICC campaign with a rout of manager Unai Emery's former side.
Arsenal cruised to victory with Mesut Ozil's early goal and two second-half strikes from Alexandre Lacazette putting them in charge after Christopher Nkunku had levelled briefly from the penalty spot.
There was a late fourth from defender Rob Holding and an even later fifth, courtesy of Eddie Nketiah.
Chelsea opened their ICC campaign with a penalty shoot-out victory over Inter Milan in Nice.
The sides were tied at 1-1 after 90 minutes and Willy Caballero proved the hero for Maurizio Sarri's men in the shoot-out, saving Milan Skriniar's fourth penalty for Inter.
That gave Cesar Azpilicueta the opportunity to win it for Chelsea, with the Blues boasting a perfect record from the spot.
Pedro gave Chelsea the lead on his 31st birthday in the eighth minute but Inter equalised in the 49th minute through Roberto Gagliardini.
The only real concern for Sarri after an encouraging workout was a late knock picked up by defender Andreas Christensen.
In New Jersey, Juventus and Benfica were level at 1-1 after 90 minutes before the Italian side prevailed 4-2 on penalties.
The match was lit up by two stunning goals with Benfica's Alex Grimaldo finding the top corner with an astonishing freekick on 65 minutes and Luca Clemenza equalising by crashing in a strike off the underside of the bar.
