2 w. ago Victor Osimhen fires Galatasaray to victory on hellish night for Liverpool

Reigning Premier League champions and league leaders may be held to higher standards but concerns grow for Liverpool. Arne Slot’s side suffered back-to-back defeats after falling to Galatasaray in Istanbul. Their performance may trouble Liverpool’s head coach greater than the result.Liverpool were short on ideas and again suspect defensively as they were beaten by Victor Osimhen’s first-half penalty. Defeat could have been heavier had the Galatasaray striker not squandered two clear openings early in the second half and it needed the 62nd minute introduction of Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak to inject direction into the Liverpool attack. The visitors were almost reprieved by the award of an 89th minute penalty for a suspected foul on Ibrahima Konaté but even that did not go their way. Referee Clément Turpin overturned his decision after being sent to the pitch-side monitor by the video assistant referee. Continue reading...

On paper, at least, Liverpool have thus far achieved perfection with a fifth win in as many Premier League games to keep them looking down on everyone else but they are yet to find their best form. There was a rare lack of late drama in their Merseyside derby triumph over Everton, instead having to cling on to secure the points.After a swashbuckling first half which saw Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitiké create a two-goal lead for the champions, Everton were awoken and got back into the match thanks to Idrissa Gueye. From then on the visitors were the better team and caused Liverpool plenty of problems but David Moyes left Anfield for the 21st time without a Premier League victory. Continue reading...
