💥 Ekitike makes his mark, is his battle with Isak over for good? | OneFootball

World Cup Operation underway.

This Saturday evening, Liverpool played away on the pitch of Leeds United, who defeated Chelsea this week!

In a tough spot, Arne Slot decided to start Hugo Ekitike instead of Alexander Isak. And the French striker made a significant impact...

Not starting in the Premier League since early November, Ekitike made a strong comeback to the lineup.

The former Stade de Reims and PSG player scored a double in seven minutes after the break!

Two crucial goals that unfortunately did not prevent the Reds from dropping points again. Final score: Leeds 3-3 Liverpool.

Two goals, above all, that might finally allow him to gain an advantage in his long-distance duel with Alexander Isak for the number 1 striker position at the Reds.

The Frenchman hadn't scored for his club since October 22.
