That feeling only grew when Preston came out fighting, denied a certain opener by a clearance off the line from Neco Williams after forcing Adrian into two good saves. This game might not have had the same gravitas as others, but this goal was possibly his best.Īt times it felt Liverpool and Preston’s League Cup Round of 16 tie could have been a match from a time long gone: a cup fixture between two teams in the North West of England in a stadium first built in 1875. There’s a special appreciation for the Belgian amongst the Anfield faithful for his track record of being in the right place at the right time versus Barcelona, Spurs in the Champions League final and Everton in the derby, he has proven himself as the king of adaptability and timing, turning up exactly where Liverpool needed him to be. Such is Origi’s habit of scoring subtly brilliant goals, his stunner against Preston was nothing new to Jurgen Klopp, saying after the match that, “Divock Origi’s goal was just Divock Origi.” It is perhaps totally unsurprising that in a League Cup fixture against lower-league opposition it was Origi who had the final say in a match where Preston refused to give up easily. Something weird happens in the box, a bit of chaos ensues, and then Divock Origi scores for Liverpool.
