Cole shines as Reds cruise
New signing Joe Cole enjoyed a promising debut as Liverpool coasted to a 2-0 win in the second leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie against Rabotnicki at Anfield.
The England midfielder, who arrived on a free transfer having been released by Chelsea, was at the heart of his new side's best moves and set up the opening goal for David Ngog, who headed home after 22 minutes.
Captain Steven Gerrard slotted home a penalty just before the interval - after Alcantara Fernando Lopes hauled down Ngog - and after that it was more of an exhibition game.
The Macedonians put up little in the way of opposition - although Filip Petkovski hit a post in injury time - and the visit of Arsenal in little over a week's time for the opening fixture of the domestic season will be a completely different proposition.
