The goal garnered plenty of attention on social media, as one Liverpool fan wrote: "We actually hit the jackpot with Hugo Ekitike. Once in a generation center-forward plays for my club." Some Liverpool fans focused on how the goal demonstrated just how dangerous Ekitike can be when operating off the left wing.

One wrote: "Left wing Ekitike is a cheat code. Slot better tap into that more often." Another said: "I’d love to see Ekitike on the left wing, and Isak as our striker.

I’m so confident they will work well together as a partnership." Liverpool signed Ekitike as well as Alexander Isak over the summer transfer window, and some observers have raised questions since the start of the season over how the pair will fit into the team at the same time, with one popular suggestion being for Ekitike to play out wide and Isak to play through the middle. “Hugo is maybe more a player that also likes to drop more in spaces coming off the left, whereas Alex, I think, prefers to be in the middle.” Ekitike has enjoyed a much better start to his Liverpool career than Isak, scoring six goals in 16 appearances for his new club, while the Sweden international has one goal in eight outings for the Reds.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
