Christian Benteke opened his Liverpool account in emphatic style with a thunderous volley against Swindon in the Reds' final pre-season friendly.

The Belgium international, who completed his £32.5million move to Anfield from Aston Villa last month, broke the deadlock at the County Ground as he chested down Joao Carlos Teixeira's flick before sending a right-footed volley crashing into the back of the Swindon goal.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will be hoping Benteke can replicate such clinical form in front of goal when the Reds kick-off their Premier League campaign away to Stoke City.

Watch the video at the top of this story to see Benteke's breath-taking debut strike.
