Brooks Lennon earned Liverpool their first point of this season's Premier League International Cup in a 1-1 draw with Porto at Prenton Park.

Lennon's 66th-minute goal cancelled out the opener from Omar Govea, who had given the visitors the lead shortly after half-time with a free-kick.

Midfielder Marko Grujic, who has made two appearances in the Premier League this season, had a late chance to win it for Michael Beale's side but his goalbound shot was blocked.
