Lazar Markovic has scored a goal for Liverpool

This is not a drill

No, this is not a drill.

Lazar Markovic has scored a goal for Liverpool. Yes, really. Lazar Markovic, who joined Liverpool during that infamous summer when Brendan Rodgers and the transfer committee pissed all the Suarez money up the wall.

Lazar Markovic, who was supposed to light up the Premier League but found himself being loaned out to f**king Hull.

Lazar Markovic, who has scored a grand total of three competitive goals for Liverpool.

Lazar Markovic, who received a four match ban for flicking someone on the nose in the Champions League.

That Lazar Markovic has scored a goal for Liverpool in a pre-season friendly, over three years since he last netted for the Reds.

After an incisive pass from Daniel Sturridge – oh yeah, he’s also back – the Serbian winger finished emphatically past David Raya, the Blackburn goalkeeper.

Daniel Sturridge doubled Liverpool’s lead shortly afterwards with a poked finish from close range.

New signings Naby Keita and Fabinho came on at half-time, making their first appearances for Liverpool.
