We had left Hannibal Mejbri with a big smile. Holder and a decisive passer against Liberia, the 22 -year -old contributed to the qualification of Tunisia for the 2026 World Cup. But this Sunday, the midfielder of the Carthage Eagles was distinguished in a very unhappy way on the English terrains.
Promoted to the Premier League, Burnley thought he could hold a good draw against Liverpool, the reigning champion. The men of Arne Slot dominated outrageously, by siege the surface of Martin Dubravka, but without being really dangerous.
Liverpool was 11 against 10 from the red card received by the former Rennais Lesley Ugochukwu (84th). It is on an harmless action, in additional time, that Hannibal Mejbri weighed his team.
Mejbri, the clumsiness that is expensive
Entered the 63rd minute in place of LOUM Tchaouna, the Tunisian international defended at the corner of his surface, when he coupled with a center of Jérémie Frimpong. We see that he makes the effort to turn, but the ball still comes to hit his arm. And when Michael Oliver designated the penalty spot, Hannibal Mejbri immediately understood his error, typical of an offensive player who would defend with a certain clumsiness.
Mohamed Salah did not tremble to offer the victory to the Reds (0-1, 90th+5). It is terrible for Burnley, who had already been beaten at Manchester United (3-2) on a penalty conceded in additional time (90th+7). Conversely, this is the fourth success in four days for the Liverpool FC, clearly not unhappy since the start of the season.
