And Arsene Wenger's side added a third after the interval through Henri Lansbury - one of seven players to come on at the start of the second half.
Grasshoppers 0-0 Liverpool
Liverpool made a low-key start to life under Roy Hodgson, with new signing Joe Cole looking on from the sidelines as his team-mates drew 0-0 in tonight's friendly with Grasshoppers in Zurich.
A youthful Reds side created little in the way of clear scoring opportunities, with Alberto Aquilani's free-kick palmed away by Ivan Benito in their best effort while striker David Ngog wasted two good chances.
Sunderland 1-1 Brighton and Hove Albion
Fraizer Campbell denied Brighton with a late equaliser as Sunderland claimed a 1-1 draw in their pre-season friendly in the Algarve. Glenn Murray had been the central figure as Albion dominated the first half, seeing an 11th-minute header controversially disallowed, curling a good effort over and failing to convert Elliott Bennett's cross with the goal gaping before he finally broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after Boudewijn Zenden handled just before the break.
Young keeper Trevor Carson had to make a superb save from Murray after Matt Kilgallon's error and the Black Cats then had George McCartney stretchered off, but Campbell provided a silver lining when he stretched to turn in Jordan Henderson's excellent free-kick.
Huddersfield 1-0 Blackburn Rovers
Joey Gudjonsson scored a sensational winner as Huddersfield recorded a 1-0 victory over a youthful Blackburn side at the Galpharm Stadium. Gudjonsson fired the home side ahead in the 17th minute, re-adjusting his feet in mid air before thundering a stunning 25-yarder past Rovers goalkeeper Mark Bunn.
There were further chances at both ends in an entertaining clash, but Gudjonsson's strike proved to be the winner.

Barnet 1-0 Watford
Barnet recorded a 1-0 victory over Championship side Watford in their latest pre-season friendly at Underhill. The Bees - who were defeated 4-0 by Arsenal at the weekend - produced an impressive performance and scored the only goal of the game in the 77th minute.
Ricky Holmes was the man on target as he beat Scott Loach with a low strike from the edge of the area.
Lowestoft Town 0-0 Colchester United
Colchester were held to a goalless draw by Lowestoft Town in their latest pre-season outing.
