Liverpool defeated Lazio as Andriy Voronin struck in the final minute at Anfield.
Anfield shows appreciation for Alonso
Liverpool made it eight pre-season games unbeaten as Andriy Voronin struck in the final minute at Anfield to defeat Lazio.
Voronin was in the right place at the right time to secure another victory for Rafa Benitez's side as he volleyed home from Jay Spearing's pass in injury-time.
The Kop left Benitez in no doubt about what they thought of speculation that Xabi Alonso could be sold to fund a move for Gareth Barry.
Liverpool fans chanted Alonso's name constantly during the game against a competitive Italian side, and the Spaniard responded with a fine all-action display of passing and running.
There was no Steven Gerrard but it was as strong a side as Benitez could put out and the captain will probably not make Wednesday's UEFA Champions League qualifier at Standard Liege due to a thigh problem.
Fernando Torres had two long-range efforts and a clever header go wide before being replaced at the break by new boy David Ngog, while Robbie Keane made his Anfield bow.
In the second period Alonso had a free-kick deflected wide, while Lazio surged forward to see Jose Reina make fine saves from substitute Pasquale Foggia, Stephen Makinwa and former Birmingham loan player Mauro Zarate.
