Philippe Coutinho scores twice in Liverpool friendly against Wolves

Philippe Coutinho scores twice in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Roberto Firmino also strikes.

Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho scored twice in a friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Melwood this afternoon.

The 23-year-old, who was left out of Brazil's squad during the international break, joined fellow first-team players Lucas Leiva, Dejan Lovren, Kolo Toure, Alberto Moreno and Roberto Firmino.

The game ended in a 3-2 triumph for the Reds, with Coutinho scoring twice and Roberto Firmino also getting on the scoresheet.

Klopp organised the behind-closed-doors match as only a small number of his senior players are away on international duty.

Joao Carlos Teixeira, who impressed in the Reds' 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the Capital One Cup last month, also took part in the game.
