How Giorgi Mamardashvili incurred game-ending injury sums up Liverpool’s hapless season
Giorgi Mamardashvili had his first Merseyside derby appearance cut short after sustaining an injury in trying to prevent Beto from scoring Everton’s equaliser early in the second half.
The 25-year-old has started Liverpool’s last six matches in deputising for the stricken Alisson Becker, but he could now be joining his fellow goalkeeper in the treatment room after being forced off at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
It duly meant that Freddie Woodman was summoned from the bench for his first Premier League appearance for LFC, and the manner in which the Georgia international suffered his body blow sums up his club’s hapless season.
How did Mamardashvili suffer his injury against Everton?
In the 54th minute, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall delivered a cross from the left that Beto finished to the net to bring Everton level.
In vainly running out to try and prevent the goal from being scored, Mamardashvili appeared to be caught by both the goalscorer and Andy Robertson, who had gotten back to try and thwart the Toffees striker.
The goalkeeper immediately required treatment on the pitch and left on a stretcher, with Woodman duly taking his place for the remainder o
f the match.
