Ekitike and Salah combine for goal in promising sign for Liverpool 🙌 | OneFootball

Liverpool beat Athletic Club 4-1 in the first clash of their friendly double header at Anfield today, and the first goal of their second game will have been a welcome slight for Arne Slot and the Reds fanbase.

It came via the most reliable and predictable of sources as Mohamed Salah notched yet another Anfield goal, but the real story was Hugo Ekitike who provided the assist.

The Frenchman raced down the left, beat his defender before squaring the ball across the box for Salah to take a touch and finish coolly past Unai Simón.

Oihan Sancet equalised just before the half hour mark, but the link up play between one of the new boys and the Egyptian king could set the tone for the season.

Who needs Alexander Isak?
