The first real chance of the match arrived after five minutes when Philippe Coutinho fed Raheem Sterling inside the box, but the England international's effort was straight at Mitchell Langerak, before Jordan Henderson clipped one high of the crossbar.

Liverpool were ahead five minutes later, however, when Daniel Sturridge finished into the bottom corner with the outside of his foot.

It was 2-0 after 14 minutes when Dejan Lovren headed home from a corner on his home debut.

The hosts continued to dominate and forced another chance after 20 minutes, but Coutinho's effort whistled wide of the post as Dortmund struggled for possession of the ball.

Milos Jojic sent an effort wide of Simon Mignolet's post after 27 minutes, before Adrian Ramos shot high of the crossbar in the latter stages of the half for the German outfit.

Steven Gerrard had the final chance of the half, but his free kick was pushed wide by Langerak.

Liverpool's third arrived early in the second period when Coutinho broke into the box before finding the bottom corner.

The Premier League side had their fourth just past the hour mark when Sturridge fed Henderson, who slotted into the back of the net from close range.

Dortmund continued to struggle in the latter stages as both managers made a number of changes, with Liverpool playing out the final stages to record a comfortable victory over the former German champions.
