Liverpool Concede 3, AGAIN!


Mohammed Fellah's last-gasp strike offset two late goals from Daniel Agger as Liverpool were held to a 3-3 pre-season draw against Valerenga in Norway.
Kenny Dalglish's side were slow to get off the mark and quickly found themselves 2-0 down, with Lars Iver Strand sliding home for the hosts inside the first 10 minutes after a low cross inside the box from Havard Nielsen before Fegor Ogude slide home from the penalty spot.
Valerenga were perhaps fortunate to be given such a gilt-edged chance from 12 yards, however, as Yssouf Kone was clumsily tackled by Charlie Adam as he attempted to hit a first-time volley.
It was almost half-time before Liverpool got back into the match, as Andy Carroll rose highest to plant a trademark header beyond the despairing goalkeeper.


As time passed the visitors grew more and more into the contest, but their two late goals came from the same unlikely source, and in very similar fashion. Two corners did the trick, substitute Alberto Aquilani finding the head of Agger on both occasions as the Dane made no mistake in finding the back of the net.
Agger's second strike appeared to have sealed a comeback 3-2 win for the Reds but there was still time for a late twist, and a twist there was - as Fellah took the ball on his left foot around 22 yards out and hit a dipping drive that swerved wickedly to deceive Pepe Reina and ensure that the watching Valerenga fans - many of whom also donned Liverpool colours - went home happy.
Liverpool will have just one more chance to claim victory before the new Premier League season, when they host Valencia on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Bolton won their penultimate pre-season match 3-0 against League Two side Hereford at Edgar Street.
Chris Eagles opened the scoring for Owen Coyle's side after 15 minutes before fellow summer signing Darren Pratley added a second on the hour mark.
Moments later Eagles turned provider to set up veteran Kevin Davies to complete a comfortable success ahead of Bolton's final warm-up against Levante at the Reebok Stadium on Friday night.
