Successful debut for Bradley Barcola with Liverpool. Present in the Reds group to challenge Ipswich this Friday evening on the third day of the Premier League, the former Parisian played his first minutes in his new colors. Before that, he had witnessed from the sidelines the only two goals of the match (0-2), scored by Alexander Isak, author of his 2nd and 3rd goals in the Premier League this season. The Swedish striker opened the scoring in the 6th minute with a lightning strike.
Found in depth by Gakpo, he suddenly unleashed a shot at the near post, deflected by Scherpen into his own goal (0-1). Barely three minutes later, the 26-year-old scored twice, again on a sublime opening from Cody Gakpo, but this time from the outside of the foot. Isak stared then eliminated an opposing defender with a small hook to open the goal and score (9th, 0-2). Overall in control despite a few small, avoidable scares, the Reds could have added to the score in the second half. At the end of a deep race as he loves them, Bradley Barcola did not come far from delivering his first decisive pass for Cody Gakpo (82nd), ultimately too hesitant. But the main thing is there for Andoni Iraola’s men: a first victory in the league this season.
