Liverpool 2-2 Sporting CP: 4 players who were impressive for Liverpool

#3 Divock Origi

Origi opened the scoring for Liverpool

Divock Origi played his way into Scouser folklore when he scored a last-minute winner against Everton at Anfield to keep Liverpool's Premier League title hopes alive and he practically became a legend with his two-goal heroics including the winner in the 4-0 remontada against Barcelona in the Champions League and this is without adding his game-sealing goal against Tottenham in the final.

It was his heroics in the last few weeks of the campaign that convinced the club hierarchy to give him a new contract upon the expiration of the former.

With Firmino, Salah and Mane all on leave, Divock Origi was handed a start against Sporting and he took his opportunity well, showing great striker's instincts, awareness and positioning to slot into an empty net after Renan Ribeiro had spilled Jordan Henderson's header in the 24th minute, while he also had another shot cleared off the line and forced some decent saves from Renan.

The perfect syncing and performance level of Liverpool's deadly attacking trio means that displacing them would be a tough chore, and in the absence of recognized backup options, Divock Origi would be Klopp's go-to man when things go south and the Belgian international could well be up to the task.
