Cody Gakpo set up Jacquet for an easy tap-in which proved to be the final act by the French international as he made way for fellow new arrival Ronald Araujo at half-time who also impressed the Anfield crowd in the second half. Speaking on his debut on Instagram, Jacquet admitted that keeping a clean sheet and bagging a goal was the ideal start on Merseyside as he left the pitch with a smile on his face.Jeremy Jacquet on Instagram: “My first steps in this iconic Stadium could not be better !

“Jeremy had a great first half, great on the ball, great defending as well, controlling the space in behind (and) in front of him as well. Great, great performance.” Fellow teammate Ryan Gravenberch also recognised the impressive 45 minutes Jacquet put in as he spoke to Sky Sports after the final whistle.

"Of course to get his first goal in his first game, I am very happy for him, I think his first action he got the ball and then he slipped away, you know, so he is comfortable on the ball and also one-against-one defending he is doing a really good job, So i am really happy he is here. Everyone loved it, so I am very happy for him" After Araujo’s impressive performance in the second half it will be interesting to see who starts alongside Van Dijk at the back in Liverpool’s first clash against Newcastle United this Sunday.
