ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Liverpool edged past Athletic Bilbao in a goal-filled second game of the day at Anfield, with Cody Gakpo scoring twice and Hugo Ekitike impressing.
Around a quarter of an hour into the game, good work from Ekitike saw the French forward beat his man in the box and then cross low to an unmarked Mohamed Salah, who put the ball in the net.
Winners Hugo Ekitike looked right at home at Anfield.
With Szoboszlai alongside him, they could form a really good midfield partnership moving forward (though Mac Allister might have something to say about that). It looked good with him and Gravenberch as a double pivot, and it might be something that we see more often in the coming months. He scored, taking the goal well, and he looked really sharp.
