When it comes to late winners, Liverpool are more than adept at delivering, and there is no feeling quite like it. Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold delivered two priceless moments in the 87th and 88th minute at Anfield, turning a losing scoreline into a winning one in the blink of an eye. The scenes were glorious, players slid on their knees in front of the Kop and Darwin Nunez headed straight for Klopp’s arms, but some who witnessed the first whistle did not stick around for the last. It is hard to explain why when sport is all about unpredictably, and Klopp had a cheeky…
League One’s leading goal scorer, Alfie May, has revealed his dream of facing Liverpool in the FA Cup, despite not considering himself a passionate football enthusiast. The 30-year-old Charlton Athletic striker has netted an impressive 17 goals in all competitions this season and hopes to propel his team into the third round of the FA Cup as it faces Gillingham today. A victory in this match would place Charlton in the same category as renowned Premier League giants such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea during the third-round draw. The Reds will be ball 21 in tomorrow’s draw, with Jürgen…
The pundit was of course commenting on Trent’s free kick which opened the scoring at Anfield. And Warnock said that Trent justified some praise he had been receiving before the game. We bigged him up before kick off for his technical abilities, and he has just shown them again here. This guy is an outstanding player. “This is one of the best free-kicks you’ll see this season. Leno dives to his left hand side but is no way near it, the ball crashes in off the bar.” Of course, most of the chat around Trent’s performances at Liverpool is usually concerning his…
Virgil van Dijk was left with “cuts on his knees” after Liverpool celebrated their dramatic winner against Fulham on Sunday. The two teams played out one of the best Premier League games of the season on Merseyside. Liverpool took the lead when Trent Alexander-Arnold’s stunning free kick crashed against the bar and bounced in off Bernd Leno, before Reds academy graduate Harry Wilson equalised for the visitors in front of the Kop. Alexis Mac Allister produced an outrageous 25-yard strike to make it 2-1 – scoring his first goal for Liverpool – but Kenny Tete found the net to level the game at half-time. Fulham then took a shock…
Alexis Mac Allister says his first Liverpool goal was the best he has scored in his career, as the Reds produced a thrilling fightback to beat Fulham 4-3 in the Premier League on Sunday. The midfielder’s superb 27-yard strike had Anfield on its feet in the first half, although Jürgen Klopp’s side needed late goals from Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold to secure an epic victory. Afterwards, a smiling Mac Allister spoke to liverpoolfc.com about his maiden Reds effort. “I had a nice one against Leicester [for Brighton] but it was disallowed,” he said. “So I think it was the…
It has been accepted that it was human error that saw Hooper call back a Manchester City advantage towards the end of Sunday’s game. Hooper initially allowed the game to continue after Erling Haaland was fouled, but then blew his whistle as Jack Grealish received the ball 40 yards from goal in behind the Spurs defence. Hooper was stood down earlier this season after failing to award a penalty to Wolves in their 1-0 defeat at Manchester United for a challenge by Andre Onana on Sasa Kalajdzic in stoppage time. Referee Hooper felt the wrath of the Etihad Stadium crowd…
20-year-old German midfielder Florian Wirtz has rapidly become one of football’s brightest prospects. Playing for Bayer Leverkusen, he’s significantly contributed to their Bundesliga title campaign. His impressive performance has caught the eye of major clubs, with Liverpool reportedly leading the race to sign him. Despite having already bolstered their midfield with four new players last summer, Liverpool, under Jurgen Klopp, show no signs of slowing down in strengthening their squad. As they aim for the league title, adding a talent like Wirtz could be a strategic move. WIRTZ’S IMPRESSIVE CAREER AT A GLANCE Currently under contract with Leverkusen until June…
Coming away from Anfield, it was hard to imagine that Liverpool would not receive top billing on Match of the Day 2. No doubt one of the greatest games I have ever witnessed live as a fan, with the program’s Goal of the Month competition for December now presumably half-sorted already, it was nonetheless bumped down the running order by Manchester City vs Tottenham. Despite boasting one goal fewer, you’d have to say it was a fair enough decision from the showrunners. The top-of-the-table clash was full of drama right to the very end, with a late equalizer for Spurs…
For a variety of reasons, it’s usually difficult to feel any sympathy for modern-day moneybags Manchester City. However, it was impossible not to recognise the fury sparked among Pep Guardiola’s side during the closing moments of their raucous 3-3 Premier League draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon. Erling Haaland was clipped by Emerson Royal inside the centre circle for a clear foul, but was able to regain his feet and play a ball over the top that sent Jack Grealish scurrying clear of the visiting defence with only goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to beat. The game, though, was halted by the whistle…
City dropped points on Sunday after a dramatic 3-3 draw with Tottenham at the Etihad, despite leading the game twice. Meanwhile Liverpool sensationally beat Fulham 4-3 in stoppage time earlier in the afternoon, while Arsenal held on to beat Wolves 2-1 on Saturday. It means that the Gunners retain their place at the top of the Premier League table, while the Reds have leapfrogged the Citizens into second place. After 14 games, just three points separate the top three, with Aston Villa, Spurs and Newcastle not too far behind. Having won the last three titles, City naturally remain the favourites to win a record…
