Adam Morgan rescues a draw for Liverpool in Brendan Rodgers's first game in charge.

Liverpool have been held to a draw by MLS side Toronto FC in Brendan Rodgers's first game in charge.

Rodgers named an experimental starting XI for the game in Canada, with the experienced trio of Jamie Carragher, Jose Enrique and Charlie Adam beginning the match alongside 16-year-old winger Jordon Ibe and fellow youngsters Stephen Sama and Andre Wisdom.

After a competitive yet subdued first half, the Reds fell behind 13 minutes into the second period.

Sergio Camargo's 20-yard effort was parried by Reds substitute goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, allowing Quincy Amarikwa - who had only signed for Toronto a matter of hours earlier - to tap home the rebound.

Adam Morgan levelled the game for Liverpool 11 minutes later, slamming home from close range following brilliant work from Raheem Sterling.

Joe Cole and Lucas Leiva both made their long-awaited returns for the Reds in the second half.
