Brazil international Fabinho scored a penalty before half-time, sending Shrewsbury goalkeeper Marko Marosi the wrong way, before Firmino added the third in the 78th minute with a brilliant back heel kick from close range.
Fabinho completed his brace in the 93rd minute, sending the ball into the roof of the net from a tight angle as Liverpool won with manager Jurgen Klopp back on the sideline following his recovery from COVID-19.
“When you score the first goal against you so many things can happen, but I liked the way we reacted,” said Klopp.
“It was a brilliant goal from Kaide Gordon. He was really calm and collected. His main strength is his finish.
“All the credit to our Academy for producing these boys, but we had no other training available to us.
“We had five young players there. They all played well. We knew we could play better football and we did the second half.”
