Danny Ings struck twice against Sunderland as Liverpool earned their fourth successive Premier League 2 victory on Sunday.

He was then denied by a superb save from Max Strycek before heading in Pedro Chirivella's first-time cross on the hour mark.

Trent Alexander-Arnold added a third, twice beating his man before finishing with a powerful strike.
