Such a scene has forced the Reds into a unique substitution.

Freddie Woodman, who has never played in the Premier League for Liverpool before, is now between the sticks.

What a moment this is for the 29-year-old, regardless of how this result turns out at full-time.

With Alisson already injured and Mamardashvili's injury appearing serious, manager Arne Slot will hope the debutant can find his confidence. He may play for the remainder of the campaign.
