Hugo Ekitike has scored another winning goal for Liverpool, but this time his joy was short-lived.

According to the Mail, Ekitike is likely to be docked two weeks' wages.

That's not far off a quarter of the salary Liverpool has paid Ekitike to date.



Not everyone would get swept up in the joy of a third-round Carabao Cup encounter, but the 23-year-old comes out to prove himself every time that he dons the Liverpool jersey (or in this case, takes it off).

He is battling against Alexander Isak, one of the best strikers in the world, who also found the net against Southampton in his first domestic start for Liverpool.

Alexander Isak celebrates after scoring his first goal for Liverpool.

He would have been among the first names on the team-sheet, having earned lofty comparisons to the likes of Fernando Torres in his short time at Anfield.

That's not to say that Liverpool doesn't have the depth to get past the London side without Ekitike
