Liverpool fullback Neco Williams was happy to see action on Friday against Mainz.

The defender was part of Liverpool's second-half XI in the friendly against FSV Mainz 05 in Austria as Jürgen Klopp deployed a different team during each half.

An 86th-minute Luca Kilian own goal – turned into his net from Owen Beck's left-wing cross – narrowly separated the sides amid sweltering conditions.

“It's good to dust the cobwebs [with the] first 45," the 20-year-old, who has 25 first-team matches under his belt to date, told Liverpoolfc.com.

“To be honest, I'm feeling good, I'm feeling fit. I got a nice little break off after the Euros but on my break I was working hard and staying fit. I'm just looking forward to what's to come now.

“Every season you play it only gets bigger and bigger. Last season was good for me, I'm getting the minutes in and getting the game time.

“Hopefully this season I can play a bit more, keep working hard and keep pushing Trent and Robbo, and hopefully get some game time."
