Ekitike stars as champs survive scare

FIRST BLOOD: Hugo Ekitike blasts Liverpool into the lead

- 

Virgil van Dijk headed over. Florian Wirtz was trying to orchestrate but it was Ekitike who looked the bigger threat.

How Marcos Senesi wasn’t punished for denying him going clear with a blatant handball is anyone’s guess.

When Semenyo reported racist abuse from a fan in the crowd soon after we were barely 30 minutes into the season.

Ekitike would open the scoring eight minutes before the break. Alexis Mac Allister found him and after the ball bounced back into his path he slotted in.
