First-half goals from Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz put the Reds ahead, but Aleksandr Golovin pulled one back just before the break. Mika Biereth equalised in the 56th minute, and substitute Paris Brunner headed the winner from a corner in the 88th minute. The loss follows last week's 4-2 defeat to Leeds United. Liverpool have two more friendlies against Como before opening their league campaign against Newcastle United on August 23. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com Tags: Andoni Iraola, AS Monaco, friendly match, Liverpool, pre-season football, Premier League Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/liverpool-blow-two-goal-lead-fall-3-2-to-monaco/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
