They'll be looking for bigger rewards over the coming months but Liverpool are the 2017 Asia Trophy winners.

Crystal Palace

Strong words from Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer who has accused West Brom's players of "trying to injure" Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha was on the receiving end of several strong challenges in his side's 2-0 win in Hong Kong.

"He's one of the exciting players in the league. I don't want to think he'd be out for two weeks or months."

Fatigue has set in. The Reds are playing keep-ball with about five minutes left. The attendance is 39,498 and Liverpool's Hong Kong fan club are staying to the end. They want to see their team lift a trophy.

Marko Grujic looks like he has been in the ring with Floyd Mayweather. Liverpool's Serbian midfielder is on the deck after coming off worse in a challenge and there are a number of medical people around him.

His legs appear to have turned to jelly as he eventually climbs to his feet.

Grujic doesn't want to come off and the referee, after a delay, allows him to continue.

Around 20 minutes remaining in Hong Kong. Mohamad Salah has enjoyed this tournament and he's the latest Liverpool player to get a standing ovation after being replaced.

Decent by the champions. More questions than answers for the FA Cup winners.

Briyan: Not sure this is a friendly in Conte's point of view. The kind of intensity Chelsea are playing with is out a of friendly zone.

Crumppetz: Fans losing their heads about a friendly in which three academy players starting, or have you tuned in thinking it's the first day?

The only negative for Chelsea is the injury to Pedro. It's been a highly satisfying work out in Beijing for the champions. Not so for Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger knows he has lots to work on before these two teams meet again at Wembley in the Community Shield in 15 days.

New Arsenal signing Sead Kolasinac is booked for deliberately holding back Lewis Baker who is threatening to run clear.

Fifteen minutes left in Beijing. A Mexican Wave breaks out inside the Bird's Nest. Arsene Wenger does not join in. The Arsenal boss looks fed up. Really fed up.

One concern for Liverpool is James Milner has had to come off with an injury. It looked like a thigh problem and his replacement is Alberto Moreno.
