Adam nets in Reds rout

Charlie Adam scored his first goal for Liverpool in their 6-3 win over a Malaysian XI on Saturday.

Having beaten Guangdong 4-3 in China three days ago, there were nine more goals in an entertaining clash in Kuala Lumpur.

Adam was a lively presence in the opening exchanges and after 25 minutes played in Andy Carroll, who went down in the area and earned the penalty.

Adam had to take the spot-kick twice but sent the keeper the wrong way to make it 1-0.

Mohammad Safiq Rahim equalised with a fine free-kick five minutes from half-time.

Liverpool made 11 substitutions at the break and after 68 minutes David Ngog scored following some poor defending.

The Frenchman added a second moments later after being fed by the impressive Alberto Aquilani as the Reds swamped their opponents.

Maxi Rodriguez made it 4-1 in the 76th minute before Mohammad Safi scored twice in as many minutes to put the hosts back in contention.

Maxi then scored a second of his own in the last minute as the All-Stars chased the equaliser.

Dirk Kuyt got his name on the scoresheet in the closing seconds to make it 6-3 and round off Liverpool's tour of Asia in style.
