Origi has scored 2 in 2

Divock Origi took full advantage of a rare start for Liverpool and scored the team’s crucial first goal yet again for a second consecutive game.

The Belgian international showcased his goal-poaching instincts by latching on to an excellent cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold to give the home side a much-needed lead at a time when the possibility of an upset win for Leeds had started looking increasingly likely.

With Klopp’s preferred attacking trio of Firmino, Coutinho and Mane doing very well in the Premier League and Daniel Sturridge being the first choice replacement striker, Origi’s participation has been limited so far in the season. But the injuries to Coutinho and Sturridge give him a chance to get an extended run in the team and Origi will hope to take full advantage by cementing a spot for himself in the starting XI.
