Liverpool’s Forwards in a Buoyant Mood After Singapore Friendly Win
Liverpool put in a dominant performance against relegated Leicester in their third fixture of the summer, emerging as 4-0 victors in the Singapore friendly. The Reds have now scored 12 goals across their three pre-season fixtures, and the forwards are in a buoyant mood as they prepare for their next challenge.
Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate Lead the Way
Captain elect Virgil van Dijk provided fans with an understated post as he sported the armband in the one-sided contest. His centre-back partner Ibrahima Konate also took to Instagram to express his delight in securing a “Win and clean sheet in Singapore” as the Reds shut out the opposition for the first time this summer.
Bobby Clark Claims “First” Goal for Liverpool
It may only have been a friendly, but Bobby Clark is rightfully claiming Liverpool’s second goal as his “first” for the club after what was an unforgettable afternoon for the 18-year-old. Clark’s strike was followed very swiftly by a header from Diogo Jota shortly before the interval, with the Portuguese forward sending out a defiant message of “We keep going” as the upcoming campaign draws closer.
Darwin Nunez and Ben Doak Cap Impressive Performances
Darwin Nunez continued his hot streak by making it four goals from just 135 minutes of football so far this summer as he continues to stake his claim for regular minutes next season. And last but not least from the goalscorers, Ben Doak capped another impressive performance and proclaimed it “Good to get on the scoresheet” after Liverpool’s second consecutive friendly victory.
Bayern Munich Up Next for Reds
Bayern Munich are up next for the Reds at the Singapore National Stadium, the same venue that played host to Sunday morning’s triumph over the Foxes. It is the final overseas fixture before the squad return to England for one last clash against Darmstadt, with the season-opener at Chelsea just around the corner.
Conclusion
It was a successful encounter for both the younger and more experienced members of Klopp’s side, with plenty more of that hopefully to come! Liverpool’s forwards are in a buoyant mood after their Singapore friendly win, and they will be looking to carry that momentum into their upcoming fixtures against Bayern Munich and Darmstadt. With the season-opener against Chelsea just around the corner, Klopp will be hoping his side can continue their impressive pre-season form and hit the ground running when the new campaign begins.
