Liverpool set up an Asia Trophy final meeting with Portsmouth after a comfortable 3-1 win over South China.

Portsmouth had already secured their place in the pre-season tournament's showpiece event with a 1-0 win over Fulham and The Reds made sure it will be an all-English affair with their victory.

Goals from John Arne Riise, Xabi Alonso and Daniel Agger handed the Anfield outfit the win, but they did survive a slight scare following a wonder strike from South China's Li Haiqiang.
